MARLITT, E ., the pseudonym of
EUGENIE
  JOHN (1825-1887),
German
  novelist, who was born at
Arnstadt
  in Thuringia, the daughter of a
merchant
 , on the 5th of December 1825. By her musical talent she attracted the notice of the reigning princess
of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, who provided for her training as a
singer
  at the Vienna Conservatoire. After three years' study she made a successful stage debut, but was compelled in consequence of deafness to abandon this career. She then became reader and travelling companion to her patroness, and her
life
  at the
court
  and on her many travels furnished her with material for her novels. In 1863 she resigned her
post
 , and then lived with her brother at
Arnstadt
  until her death on the 22nd of June 1887.
Her first novel, Die zwolf Apostel, was published in the Gartenlaube in 1865 and this was followed in 1866 by Goldelse (23rd ed., 189o), with which she established her literary reputation. Among others of her novels may be mentioned Blaubart (1866) ; Das Geheimnis der alten Mamsell (1867; 13th ed., 1888); Reichsgrafin Gisela (1869; 9th ed., 19o0), Das Heideprinzesschen (1871; 8th ed., 1888) and Im Hause des Kommerzienrats (1877; 5th ed., 1891). All these works are directed against social prejudices, but, although attractively written, are deficient in higher literary qualities and
appeal
  mostly to juvenile readers.
E. Marlitt's Gesammelte Romane and Novellen were published in ro volumes (1888189o; 2nd ed., 18911894), to which is appended a biographical memoir.
