... is a literary scholar and editor of numerous digital and print editions, focusing in particular on Arthur Schnitzler and the era of Viennese Modernism.
From 2018 to 2024, he successfully led two consecutive projects funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) dedicated to editing Arthur Schnitzler’s professional correspondence, making more than 3,600 letters to and from Schnitzler digitally accessible. His work at the ACDH began with a key role in the completion of the online edition of Schnitzler’s diary. Since then, in addition to the correspondence edition, he has published around a dozen further digital and print resources on Schnitzler and Viennese Modernism, including Schnitzler’s Interviews (Wallstein 2023), Arthur Schnitzler und ich by Clara Katharina Pollaczek, Schnitzler’s reading list in digital form, an extensive chronology, as well as the microfilming of the Cambridge estate and Schnitzler’s newspaper clipping collection. After leaving the ACDH, he collaborated with Laura Untner to compile a detailed directory of Schnitzler’s places of residence, comprising more than 46,000 entries. After a six-month break, he returned to the ACDH, where he now oversees a third project phase of the correspondence edition within the Literary & Print Culture Studies research unit. This phase, running until 2029, will make a further ten correspondences available. Together with Peter Andorfer, he is also responsible for the web service PMB, which contains nearly 100,000 entities from Vienna around the year 1900.
Martin Anton Müller studied German literature and trained as an art educator. He earned his PhD in Philosophy at the University of Vienna with a dissertation on a debate in France between 1748 and 1766 about whether children have the right to strike their parents. His work on print, hybrid, and online editions has made him increasingly detail-oriented—to the extent that he not only edits historical documents but also prefers to carry out all publication steps himself, including programming and typesetting.
