E Marlitt

E Marlitt

E. Marlitt is the pseudonym of Eugenie John (18251887), a popular German novelist, born at Arnstadt. Her father was a portrait painter; her patroness was the Princess of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, who sent her to Vienna to study music. She became deaf, lived for 11 years at court, and then, withdrawing to Arnstadt, began there her novelistic career. Die zwlf Apostel (1865), Goldelse (1868), Das Geheimnis der alten Mamsell (1868), Thringer Erzhlungen (1869), Reichsgrfin Gisela (1870), Heideprinzechen (1872), Die zweite Frau (1874), and other novels are familiar in English translations. Her collected works appeared in 10 volumes (Leipzig, 1888-90; second edition, 1891-94).
