Grazie, Marie

Marie Eugenie delle Grazie was born 1864 Weißkirchen (Banat) and died 1931 Vienna. She was educated in Vienna from 1872 and, having trained as a teacher, devoted herself to writing. She began with verse epics in the elevated style of the late 19th c. (Hermann, 1884; Robespierre, 1894) and with lyric poetry which varies from the rhetorical to the reflective (Gedichte, 1882). She was then attracted by the Naturalistic Movement and took to writing plays. In 1912 she returned to the Roman Catholic faith, and her subsequent narrative works reflect this change in her novels.
