Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach belongs to the record of literature as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach as Austrian writer (1830–1916).
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach was born at Schloss Zdislawitz in 1830. Her recorded nationality is the Austrian Empire.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
The record gives her occupations as writer, playwright and prose writer.
Among her principal works are The Child of the Parish and Lotti, die Uhrmacherin. Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold.
Her recorded fields of work are german-language literature.
Her work was formally recognised with the honorary doctor of the University of Vienna, honorary degree and Decoration for Art and Science (Austria-Hungary).
That the work was done from the Austrian Empire matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach died in 1916 at the age of 86. The work outlived the arguments around it.
