Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872) was an Austrian writer who emerged primarily as a dramatist. Grillparzer studied law at the University of Vienna. From 1821 he worked in the Ministry of Finance, then as archive director at the imperial-royal court chamber. Grillparzer's poetic beginnings were influenced by Romanticism. In 1817 his tragedy of fate, The Ancestor, was performed with extraordinary success and soon made its way onto all German stages. Grillparzer's strength lay in developing the feeling of love into a dramatic action, which is why in a certain sense the tragedies Sappho (1818) and Des Meeres und der Liebe Wellen (1831) are considered his most accomplished works. From 1821, when the trilogy The Golden Fleece (1822) was successfully performed in the Vienna Hofburgtheater, Grillparzer was one of the favored playwrights for about a decade. His works also include: The Monastery at Sendomir (1817), A Faithful Servant of His Master (1830), The Poor Musician (1848), and The Jewess of Toledo (1855).
