Gerhart Hauptmann
A play written in 1893. The work tells the story of a neglected and abused peasant child who, on her deathbed, experiences a vision of divine powers welcoming her into the afterlife. Blending naturalistic drama with symbolist elements, the play features dream sequences and marks a historic first in world literature by centering a child as its heroine. Hauptmann received the Grillparzer Prize in 1896
