Eduard von Keyserling

Johann Heinrich Eduard Nicolaus Graf[1] von Keyserling (May 14, 1855 – September 28, 1918) was a Baltic German fiction writer and dramatist, an exponent of literary impressionism and associated with the historic region of Courland.

Keyserling was born at Schloss Tels-Paddern (now in Kalvene parish, South Kurzeme Municipality, Latvia), Courland Governorate, then part of the Russian Empire.

His novels and novellas are usually set in the German Baltic provinces, both in the noble houses and gardens and also in the fir forests and the outdoors generally.

His most emblematic work is perhaps Fürstinnen (Princesses), only superficially related to the typical German 19th century Schlossroman (the novel set in a castle or manor house).
