 Karl Kraus - Wikipedia
Kraus warf dem Zionismus vor, zu einem historischen Fehler anzusetzen: Er verlasse den einzig erfolgversprechenden Pfad der Assimilierung und führe in die Irre, und er spiele außerdem denjenigen in die Hände, welche eine Trennung zwischen Juden und Nichtjuden herbeiführen wollten.
Er nahm den Umstand, dass Kraus ihm eines der vielen unter einem Sammelpseudonym („Gottlieb“) veröffentlichten Kriegsgedichte fälschlicherweise zugeschrieben hatte, zum Anlass, gegen Kraus eine Verleumdungklage zu erheben.

 Karl Kraus Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Karl Kraus, widely regarded as one of the greatest satirists of the twentieth century, was primarily a prose writer who produced thousands of critical essays and aphorisms.
Kraus, who forced the powerful and the pitiful alike to stand before the tribunal of his satire, was a legend in his lifetime, variously adored and vilified by his contemporaries.
As Erich Heller puts it, "Karl Kraus did not write 'in a language,' but through him the beauty, profundity, and accumulated moral experience of the German language assumed personal shape and became the crucial witness in the case this inspired prosecutor brought against his time." Kraus saw an absolute congruity between word and world, l.....

Kraus polemisiert in den 20er Jahren besonders gegen die Machenschaften der Wiener Polizei und Presse sowie gegen den Berliner Theaterkritiker Alfred Kerr.
In Vorlesungen und Artikeln warnt Kraus vor der drohenden Entmenschlichung durch den Nationalsozialismus, kritisiert aber auch die Politik der Sozialdemokratie.

 Karl Kraus
When examining the life and work of Karl Kraus, the question arises whether he was a man who sought reform through conservatism (in language) and liberalism (in the realm of women's liberation and pacifism), or merely a sardonic wit who relished pointing out the evil and hypocrisy in the world.
The brief relationship between Kalmar and Kraus grew out of the theater of which she was part of and ended in her death of tuberculosis in 1901, a year after they had met.
Kraus is famous for being a fervent admirer of Otto Weininger.

Karl Kraus (1874-1936), flamboyant satirist of turn-of-the-century Viennese society and culture, is but slowly gaining recognition in the English-speaking world.
A contemporary of Freud, Schnitzler, Wittgenstein, Canetti, Schonberg, and Kokoschka, Kraus was most influential as an editor, publisher, and writer of the polemic journal Die Fackel (1899-1936).
Timms's book is a significant contribution to the study of early 20th-century European culture as well as to Kraus scholarship and thus should appeal to generalist and specialist alike.

 The New York Review of Books: On Karl Kraus
Nonetheless, Jewish "anti-Semitism" is an intriguing and problematic phenomenon, and insofar as Karl Kraus had a share in it, he was a fellow "anti-Semite" of Karl Marx, Heinrich Heine, Otto Weininger, and even Franz Kafka.
Karl Kraus's animosity toward the new theory of the soul was so obviously of a piece with his other animosities that surely it had no need to be animated by a paper analyzing him.
And the—by no means consistently—negative relationship Karl Kraus had to Nietzsche is almost as complex and often contradictory as that of Nietzsche to Socrates.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Karl Kraus
Karl Kraus was born on 28 April 1874 in Jitschín in the north of Bohemia (today the Czech Republic), the ninth child of the Jewish paper manufacturer Jacob Kraus and his wife Ernestine, née Kantor.
In 1877 the family moved to Vienna, where Karl Kraus after his graduation from high school in 1892 registered as a law student at the University.
In October 1899 Kraus left the Jewish Community, a step that meant the beginning of religious ambiguity: he converted to Catholicism in 1911 but left the Roman Catholic Church in 1923.

If you've never heard of Karl Kraus, the Austrian satirist who inflicted withering and witty critiques on the mass media, the military-industrial complex, and German culture in the early decades of the last century, get in line.
But he is undergoing something of a renaissance, thanks in no small part to [Edward] Timms," author of the massively erudite two-volume biography, Karl Kraus: Apocalyptic Satirist.
The second volume of the biography, subtitled The Postwar Crisis and the Rise of the Swastika, takes up Kraus's story in November 1918, when the satirist responded to the creation of the new republics with a defiant hope, invoking international law against the dual threat of reactionary politics and irresponsible media.

 Life of Riley : Ratbag Radio Network: Karl Kraus
I am hesitant in guaranteeing this definition because without fluency in German I have to defer to those who insist that because of his imaginative use of the Viennese idiom, Kraus' subtle language skills are reputed to be very difficult to translate.
But, let's say, that among those in the know he is standardly referred to as the greatest satirist of the twentieth century.
I'm not suggesting that if Kraus could blog he'd be able to talk down Fascism or by dint of witty words alone, prevent it, but the same problems he faced in regard to society and securing an audience for his ideas are the same today.
