About the Author

Keller wurde am 19.7.1819 in Zürich geboren. Sein Vater war Drechsler. Nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters (1824) besuchte er bis 1834 verschiedene Schulen. Einen Studienaufenthalt in München - mit dem Ziel, Maler zu werden - brach er ab und begann seine literarischen Studien.

Seine erste Gedichtsammlung (1846) verhalf ihm zu einem Stipendium in Zürich. 1848-1850 studierte Keller in Heidelberg Geschichte, Philosophie und Literatur. 1850-1855 lebte er in Berlin und danach wieder in Zürich als freier Schriftsteller. Von 1861 bis 1876 war er Erster Staatsschreiber des Kantons Zürich, danach widmete er sich nur noch seinen literarischen Arbeiten. Keller starb am 16.7.1890 in Zürich.
