Kurt Kreiler (born June 23, 1950 in Munich ) is a German author and dramaturge.

Life

Kurt Kreiler studied German and philosophy and did his doctorate on the subject of “The writers' republic. On the relationship between literature and politics in the Munich Soviet Republic ”. After extensive journalistic activity, he worked for Wagenbach- Verlag and other publishing houses as well as a dramaturge at the Landesbühne Niedersachsen Nord in Wilhelmshaven .

Kreiler has worked as a freelance radio writer since 1983, writing over 100 features and radio plays for public broadcasters in Germany and Austria.

In 2003 he founded mOcean OTonVerlag together with Robert Galitz . In 2009 he and Galitz and Till Tolkemitt received the German Audiobook Prize in the “Best Publishing Achievement” category for the “Two Thousand One Documents” segment .

The original sound editions by Gottfried Benn , Elias Canetti , Hubert Fichte , Elsa Sophia von Kamphoevener and Kurt Schwitters were followed (together with Galitz) by the collected "sound and film documents from Thomas Mann and Family": The Magician's Circle , 2018.

Together with Chris Hirte, Kreiler translated the "first English novella" The Adventures of Master FI, published anonymously in 1573, and identified it as an early work by Edward de Vere , 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604) in the context of a philological and historical argument .

In 2009 he published the first German biography of the English playwright Edward de Vere , 17th Earl of Oxford, under the title The man who invented Shakespeare , in which he argues that Oxford aka SHAKE-SPEARE wrote Shakespeare's works. (The book was not used as a template for Roland Emmerich's film Anonymous .)

Kreiler's poetic translation of Oxford's lyrical oeuvre appeared under the title The Delicate Thread That Beauty Spins (2013).

The English-language website of the literary detective is the only Oxfordian website to compile all the texts by Elizabethan contemporaries that refer to Edward de Vere as the author of Shakespeare's works.
