Arthur Schnitzler

Arthur Schnitzler (15 May 1862 – 21 October 1931) was an Austrian author and dramatist. He is considered one of the most significant representatives of Viennese Modernism. Schnitzler’s works, which include psychological dramas and narratives, dissected turn-of-the-century Viennese bourgeois life, making him a sharp and stylistically conscious chronicler of Viennese society around 1900.

Schnitzler's Jewish upbringing and the sexual content of his works made them controversial or banned in his time and beyond. Description above from the Wikipedia article Arthur Schnitzler, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
