Hermann Sudermann (1857-1928) was a German novelist and playwright. He was born in East Prussia and studied law at the University of Königsberg. He began writing in the 1880s, and his first novel, The Joyless Street, was published in 1892. It was an immediate success and established him as one of the leading writers of the day. His other works include Magda (1893), The Old Man (1896), and The Song of Songs (1904). He also wrote several plays, including The Captain of Köpenick (1906). Sudermann was a popular writer in his day, but his works have since fallen out of favor. He died in 1928 in Berlin.
