| Summary | First published for private circulation in Vienna in 1900, Schnitzler's play looks at the sexual morality and class ideology of his day through a series of sexual encounters between pairs of characters. When published publicly in 1903, it became an immediate best-seller, scandalized Viennese society, and a year later was censored. Schnitzler was accused of pornography and worse. By choosing characters across the social spectrum, 'La Ronde' offers a powerful view of how sexual contact transgresses boundaries of class. |
