(1875-1936) Danish playwright and author, in France from about 1914; she is of some sf interest for Dr Morel (1906; trans David Stanley Adler as The Case of Dr Morel 1926), a Feminist tale involving the very Near Future machinations of the eponymous physician, who commits euthanasia on women he deems unsuitable. Falling fatally in love with a young woman he deems oversensitized by her creative ability brings about his extravagantly narrated downfall. [JC]
