Julius Bacher (8 August 1810 – 1889) was a German playwright and novelist from Ragnit, Province of East Prussia.
After ten years, he abandoned his medical career to devote himself exclusively to literature.
Then the political events of 1848 interrupted his literary activity, but he resumed it eight years later by publishing a novel, Sophie Charlotte, die Philosophische Königin, 3 vols.
Its favorable reception by the public encouraged him to pursue literature, and he published successively: Die Brautschau Friedrich des Grossen (Frederick the Great's Search for a Bride; 1857), a drama; and Friedrich I. Letzte Tage (The Last Days of Frederick I; 1858), a romance in 3 vols.
The more celebrated of these works are: Ein Urteil Washington's, 2 vols., 1864; Sybilla von Kleve, 3 vols., 1865; Napoleon I. Letzte Liebe, 6 vols., 1868; Auf dem Wiener Kongress (On the Congress of Vienna), 4 vols., 1869; Prinzessin Sidonie, 3 vols., 1870; and the tragedies, Lady Seymour and Lucie.
