About the author
Reinhold Schoener (1849–1936) was a German man of letters whose work crossed several fields. Authority and reference records identify him as a journalist, writer, translator, and teacher, and also note him as a professor.
His publications show that range clearly. An early scholarly work, De Claudio Aeliano (1873), points to a strong grounding in classical studies, while later books such as Capri and Roma Sacra turn toward history, place, and culture in a style meant for broader readers. He appears to have written with a talent for explaining the past through vivid settings and well-chosen detail.
Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources readily available online, the record of his books and library authority files preserves the outline of a prolific literary career. For listeners interested in older nonfiction, he stands out as an author who brought scholarship, travel, and cultural history together.
