Rosegger is a writer who described his village characters with great devotion. Also Anzengruber has a good knowledge of his subject. In his drama “Der Meineidbauer,” (The Perjured Farmer) the farmer and peasants whom he portrays really live. We know how plastic these characters are in the “Meineidbauer” and in his, “Parson Of Kirchfeld” and in other plays. Rosegger and Anzengruber one day went for a walk together and Rosegger said: “I know you really never look at farmers; perhaps you could describe them better if you went to see them in the village.” Anzengruber replied: “If I did this, I would probably be quite at a loss. I never learned to know peasants more closely, but I can describe them because my father, my grandfather and all my ancestors were farmers, and I still have this farmer's blood in my veins. I form my characters through the farmer's blood in me, and I do not bother about the rest!”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XII.

Wir wissen, wie großartig plastisch sie dastehen im «Meineidbauer», im «Pfarrer von Kirchfeld» und andern. Nun gingen einmal Rosegger und Anzengruber miteinander spazieren, und Rosegger sagte: Ich weiß, daß du dir eigentlich nie die Bauern anschaust; du würdest sie vielleicht noch besser schildern, wenn du zu ihnen ins Dorf gingest. - Da sagte Anzengruber: Wenn ich das täte, würde ich vielleicht ganz und gar irre werden. Ich habe eigentlich nie Bauern näher kennengelernt; daß ich sie so schildern kann, rührt davon her, daß mein Vater, mein Großvater und alle meine Vorfahren Bauern waren, und dieses Bauernblut habe ich noch in mir.
