Therese von Artner
Therese von Artner (1772 – 1829) was a German-language author who published lyric poems under the pseudonym Theone. BiographyMaria Therese von Artner was born in Schintau, Hungary, in 1772.[1] Her father was an officer in the Austrian military. She began writing poetry at a young age, publishing poems under the pseudonym Theone. Artner may have chosen her pseudonym based on the poem Teone by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, who she cited as an early influence.[2] During her lifetime, Artner's most successful works were her poems, published in three collections: Feldblumen auf Ungarns Fluren gesammelt von Minna und Theone (1800), Neuere Gedichte von Theone (1806), and Gedichte (1818).[1] From 1814 to 1829, Artner would spend time each summer with friends Karoline Pichler, Marianne von Neumann Meissenthal, and Marie Gräfin von Zay to read and critique each other's writing.[3] Artner wrote two poems about Pichler, "The Rescue" and "To Caroline Pichler," while Pichler responded with the poem "To My Friend Theone."[4] In 1817, Artner wrote the drama Die That (The Deed), a tragedy in five acts which imagined the events taking place before the plot of Adolf Müllner's play Die Schuld (The Guilt).[5] The play is written in trochaic tetrameter. In 1824, she wrote Stille Größe (Quiet Greatness).[1][6] In addition to her written work, Artner has also been cited as an accomplished pastel portrait artist.[7] Artner died in Agram, Croatia, in 1829.[1] References
