Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STIFTER, ADALBERT (1805-1868) , Austrian author, was born at Oberplan in Bohemia on the 23rd of October 1805, the son of a linen weaver. Having studied at the university of Vienna, he became tutor to
Richard
 , eldest son of Prince Metternich, and obtained in 1849 the
appointment
  as school inspectorwith the
title
  of Schulrat in
Linz
 , where he lived until his death on the 28th of January 1868. As early as 184o Stifter had made his name known by his Feldblumen, a collection of charming little sketches, but his fame chiefly rests upon his Studien (1844-1851) in which he gathered together his early writings. These sketches of scenery and rural
life
  are among the best and purest examples of
German
 
prose
 . Among other of his works may be cited Bunte Steine (1853), Nachsommer (1857), Witiko (1864-1867), and Briefe, which appeared posthumously in 1869.
Stifter's Sdmtliche Werke were published in 17 vols. in 187o. There are also editions of selected works in 4 vols. (1887) and in 6 vols. (1899). A
critical
  edition by A. Sauer is in preparation. Stifter's letters were published by J. Aprent in 3 vols. (1869). See E. Kuh, Zwei Dichter Osterreichs (1872) ; K. Proll, A. Stiffer, der Dichter des Bohmerwaldes (Vortrag, 1891) ; J. K. Markus, A. Stifter (2nd ed., 1879); A. R. Hein, A. Stifter (1904) ; T. Klaiber, A. Stiffer (1905) ; W. Kosch, A.
