Hermann Sudermann

Not that the Familie Zählike represented anything that had not been written about for years without any seeming result, but the dramatic genius of Holtz, together with the powerful interpretation of the play, necessarily made inroads into the widest circles and forced people to think about the terrible inequalities around them.

Sudermann's Ehre and Heimat dealt with vital subjects.

I have already referred to the sentimental patriotism so completely turning the head of the average German as to create a perverted conception of honor.

Dueling became an everyday affair, costing innumerable lives.

The same remark applies to men of letters.

The most noted living novelists and playwrights of Germany, a Hauptmann or a Sudermann, are nowhere less understood than at the court of Berlin.

For a long time past the Emperor has delighted in the society of agreeable dilettante poets and musicians, for he adores music and poetry, the companions of the famous Round Table.

The scandalous Eulenburg case brought these intimacies to an abrupt close.
