Excerpt from Teja
As one studies the course of Sudermann's literary activity, it is easy to detect changes in his philosophy of life. At first his work was characterized by strident notes of bitter irony, melancholy and despair; later optimism began to show out faintly in his estimates of humanity, and ideals, though remote, were held up as worth striving for. Sudermann is emphatically modern, and his latest plays show a closer touch and sympathy With present-day conditions. Knowing these conditions as he does, we cannot wonder that he finds in them ample material for his work.
