Marie Eugenie Delle Grazie , also Marie Eugenie delle Grazie (born August 14, 1864 in Weißkirchen , Austrian Empire , † February 19, 1931 in Vienna ), was a writer , playwright and poet .

Life

Delle Grazie was the daughter of Caesar delle Grazie (1817–1873) and his wife Maria, née Melzer. Her father, a descendant of a Venetian family, was chief inspector of the First Danube Steamship Company in the Banat and then mine director in Drenkowa (today: Drencova ); her mother came from a middle-class Hamburg family. She grew up in the Banat in the village of Bersaska . In 1874, after the death of her father, her mother moved to Vienna with her and her younger brother. Delle Grazie studied there after graduating from the teacher training college of St. Anna. An illness prevented her from practicing her profession, which is why she became a freelance writer . She had been writing since her earliest youth, and at the age of 19 she was granted a literary scholarship from the Schwestern- Fröhlich Foundation in 1883 in recognition of her Saul work . The theologian and ethicist Laurenz Müllner promoted and supported them. In the winter of 1886/1887 she was on a trip to Italy and found inspiration for her collection of vignettes, which later became much noticed. Marie Eugenie delle Grazie died unmarried in Vienna in 1931 at the age of 66. She found her final resting place in the Wiener Friedhof Döbling on Hartäckerstrasse.

Together with Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach , Marie Eugenie delle Grazie is one of the most prominent Austrian writers around 1900. Both her epic and lyrical work are characterized by maturity. In addition to popular literature, she also wrote socially critical works in which she stood up for freedom and human dignity. She was an important representative of realism . She also belonged to the Iduna association, which named itself after the Nordic god of fertility. After the death of her mentor Müllner in 1912, she withdrew to Styria and turned away from free-spirited thinking and towards Catholicism .
