Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAABE, WILHELM (1831-1910) ,
German
  novelist, whose early works were published under the pseudonym of
Jakob
  Corvinus, was born at Eschershausen in the duchy of
Brunswick
  on the 8th of September 1831. He served
apprenticeship
  at a bookseller's in
Magdeburg
  for four years (1849-1854); but tiring of the routine of business, studied philosophy at Berlin(1855-1857). While a student at that university he published his first
work
 , Die Chronik der Sperlingsgasse (1857), which at once attained to
great
  popularity. Raabe next returned to Wolfenbuttel, and then lived (1862-187o) at
Stuttgart
 , where he devoted himself entirely to authorship and wrote a number of novels and short stories; notably Unseres Herrgotts Kanzlei (1862); Der Hungerpastor (1864); Abu Telfan (1867) and Der Schildderump (1870). In 1870 Raabe removed to
Brunswick
  and published the narratives Horacker (1876)perhaps his masterpiece; Das Odfeld (1889); Kloster Lugau (1894) and Hastenbeck (1899), and numerous other stories. The distinguishing characteristic of Raabe's
work
  is a genial humour which reminds us occasionally of Dickens; but this humour is often combined with a pessimism that is foreign to the
English
  novelist.
Raabe's Gesammelte Erzahlungen appeared in 4 vols. (1896-1900) ; there is no uniform edition of his larger novels. See P.
Gerber
 , Wilhelm Raabe (1897); A. Otto, Wilhelm Raabe (1899); A. Bartels, Wilhelm Raabe: Vortrag (1901).
