Should be something on the effort to construct a statue of him in Lvov, which was in the news a few years back... AnonMoos 18:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody have a reference for the claim he actually died in 1905? There's not a lot of biographical work on Sacher-Masoch in English. --Mightyfastpig 23:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know of any biographical works on Sacher-Masoch in English other than James Cleugh's books? --Mightyfastpig 06:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Potential successor to Goethe?
This statement is odd and seems extravagant:
"who was seen by some as a potential successor to Goethe"
Who saw Sacher-Masoch in these terms and what is really meant here by "successor"? When and where was this view expressed? Norvo 02:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
That came from James Cleugh's The First Masochist (as far as I can tell, the only English-language biography of Sacher-Masoch). I wanted to point out that, in his lifetime, he was the next big thing in German literature. --Mightyfastpig 17:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
If he started learning German at 12 what was his native language?
[edit] Lemberg
As shown in History of Lviv#Partitions, Lviv's name at the time of Sacher-Masoch's birth was Lemberg, and it belonged to Galicia (Central Europe), then a province of Austria-Hungary. Therefore I have reinserted the correct version. --Catgut (talk) 07:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
