Isolde Kurz (1853-1944) was a popular, prolific and erudite German writer renowned for her fine style in all genres. She became dazzled by visions of Hitler's Germany as a new Holy Roman Empire. The Nazis in turn fêted the writer. In her 19th century youth, nationalism had been, as it currently is in many places, liberty's darling. She did come to distance herself from the fascists as time went on, expressing disdain for their life-negating materialism, and signing a manifesto against nationalist excesses, militarism and antisemitism.

Isolde Kurz (1853-1944) wrote delightful stories, memoirs, fairy tales and poetry – and German readers of her time could not get enough of them. Daughter of Hermann Kurz, a famous writer, she was widely admired for her versatility and erudition.
Isolde was an unabashed patriot who lived through tremendous upheavals in history while maintaining her fundamentally humanistic and compassionate outlook on the world.
