Anton Wildgans (17 April 1881 – 3 May 1932) was an Austrian poet and playwright. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times.[1]

Life

Born in Vienna, Wildgans studied law at the University of Vienna, from 1900 to 1909,[2] and then practiced as an examining magistrate (Untersuchungsrichter) from 1909 to 1911, before devoting himself to writing full-time.[3]

His works, in which realism, neo-romanticism and expressionism mingle, focus on the drama of daily life.

He twice served as director of Vienna's Burgtheater, in 1921–1922 and 1930–1931.[3]

One of his teachers was the Austrian Jewish philosopher Wilhelm Jerusalem.[4] Wildgans was the mentor of writer Albert Drach.

Wildgans died in Mödling. The Wildganshof, a residential development in the 3rd District of Vienna, is named after him.
