Josef Ettlinger (1869–1912) was a German literary historian, critic, journalist and translator.
Life and Work
Ettlinger came from a Jewish mercantile family. Initially he studied Music, but he found that he suffered from deafness and therefore switched to Philology. He received his doctorate in 1891 for a dissertation on the seventeenth century Silesian poet Christian Hoffmann von Hoffmannswaldau and then embarked on a successful career in publishing. Ettlinger was the founder, publisher and till his death managing editor of Das literarische Echo, a prominent bi-monthly literary magazine.
