Der Band schlie t die Text-Ausgabe der Tageb cher ab, die Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach durch viele Jahrzehnte f hrte. Insgesamt sind 36 Jahrg nge aus den Jahren 1862 bis 1909 im M hrischen Landesarchiv Br nn erhalten, weitere (bis 1916) von fremder Hand berliefert. Diese Tageb cher sind, der literarischen Bedeutung ihrer Autorin entsprechend, in mehrfacher Hinsicht bedeutungsvoll: biographisch, werkgenetisch, literarhistorisch (mit einer F lle von Aphorismen) und - das Leben einer Adeligen in der Habsburger Monarchie dokumentierend - kulturgeschichtlich. Der sechste Band umfa t das letzte Lebensjahrzehnt der Dichterin. Es ist die Zeit der sp ten Ehrungen. Nachdem sie 1900 als erste Frau die Ehrendoktorw rde der Universit t Wien erhalten hat, wird sie 1909/10 zum Ehrenmitglied der Schiller- und der Goethegesellschaft ernannt, sie erh lt den Elisabeth-Orden I. Klasse, und von Freunden wird ihr zu Ehren an ihrem achtzigsten Geburtstag der Ebner-Eschenbach-Fonds gegr ndet. In der literarischen ffentlichkeit gilt Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach nun unumstritten als die f hrende deutschsprachige Schriftstellerin. Es ist zugleich eine Zeit erstaunlicher Produktivit t. Neben ihren autobiographischen Schriften ("Meine Erinnerungen an Grillparzer") entstehen noch eine F lle neuer Erz hlungen, sie fa t Ver ffentlichtes und bislang noch Unpubliziertes in Auswahlb nden zusammen. Zugleich zeigt sich Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach als wache und kritische Beobachterin des Zeitgeschehens: angefangen von den st rker werdenden Nationalit tenkonflikten in der Habsburger Monarchie bis hin zum Ersten Weltkrieg, den sie anf nglich noch mit Zustimmung, dann aber mehr und mehr mit Skepsis und schlie lich mit Abscheu verfolgt.

One of the early concepts of the Olympic Games was to include "intercalated" Games every four years between the normal cycle, and to hold these Games in Athens, the ancestral home of the Olympics. In 1906 the first, and only one, of these games was held. Occurring only two years after the St. Louis Games of 1904 and two years before the London Games of 1908, the Athens Games were considered by many not to be "official"; social and political forces prevented continuation of the intercalation cycle in 1910 and later. Yet these Games were surprisingly successful and helped guarantee the survival of the modern Olympics. This book, fourth in the series on the early Olympics, presents all the data on 29 nation and city-state participants in more than a dozen events in the Athens Games. Scores and descriptions are provided, and many historical errors and omissions in other sources are corrected. Appendices include the published program for the Games, the actual schedule followed during the Games, and country-by country listings of all participating athletes.
