THE TEMPTATION OF PSYCHOANALYSIS AND GERMAN LITERARY MODERNISM-ARTHUR SCHNITZLER

Summary/Abstract: German literary modernism has its origins in the 17th century. Arthur Schnitzler is one of the leading representatives of this literary movement in Austria through the psychological implications, the fine analyzes of conscience and the exposition of the morals that the wealthy classes cultivated. Arthur Schnitzler is one of those voices in literature who wanted to bring about a change. And Austria, at the beginning of the 20th century, like the whole of Europe, was going through deep social transformations. The goal of the new literary movement was to get out of the rigid, idealistic forms of man, promoting a more realistic vision of human consciousness, freed from the constraints of social conventions and taboos. As science was beginning to become a new dogma, it is not surprising that a representative of medicine brings a new, scientific and analytical breath to the literary landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
