CONTEXT
Biographical/Administrative History: Robert Saudek was born in Koln,
Czechoslovakia on 21 April 1881. Between 1903 and 1909, he wrote several
plays, essays, epigrams and novels, including 'A Child's conscience' and
'Jewish Youths' (1903), 'Eine gymnasisltragödie' (1904) 'Und über uns
leuchtende Sterne' (1907) and 'Das Märchen des Meere' (1909). Around the
same time, he also studied at the University of Prague, Leipzig and the
Sorbonne.
During the First World War, Saudek maintained an Intelligence Unit in The
Hague and at the end of the War in 1918 he entered the diplomatic service for
the Czechoslovakian Government, serving in Holland and in England before
finally settling in London. In that same year, Saudek also completed 'Die
diplomaten' which was published in German, Czech, Dutch, French and
Italian, and dealt with problem of graphology. In 1925 he published
'Wissenschaftliche Graphologie' (Psychology of handwriting) which was
followed by 'Experimentelle Graphologie' (Experiments with handwriting) the
following year, the latter published in Czechoslovakia and Holland. Saudek
also lectured about experimental graphology at Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels
and Prague. In 1931, he was one of the founders of the quarterly journal
'Character and Personality. An international quarterly for psychodiagnostics
and allied studies' in which he regularly published articles during the early
1930s. He completed the more populist work, 'What your handwriting means'
in 1932. Saudek died in London in 1935.
