Arthur Schnitzer was not only a playwright with a keen eye for the human psyche, but he was also an astute social critic. He grappled with the double-standards of 'polite society', Jewish identity and gender relations, causing a scandal with nearly every single one of his plays. Max Haberich traces the life of this great writer and thinker from a fresh perspective, enhancing his study with previously unknown material, including an unused archive in the Cambridge University libraries. This biography casts light on little-known aspects of Schnitzler's life and work, which is also illustrated by hitherto unpublished correspondence with his wife.
