Austrian writer whose reputation rests on a number of formally inventive and intellectually ambitious novels. The dilemma of the artist in a period of historical crisis is the subject of Broch's masterpiece Der Tod des Vergil (1945, The Death of Virgil). Broch's attempts to reconcile the scientific world view with deep psychological and metaphysical ideas connects him to his Austrian contemporary Robert Musil, who also came to literature after first pursuing a technical and commercial career.

Als Sohn eines Wiener Textilgroßhändlers absolvierte B. ein Studium zum Textilingenieur und wurde 1907 Assistenzdirektor in der Spinnfabrik Teesdorf bei Wien. Nach dem Übertritt vom Judentum zum Katholizismus heiratete er 1909 Franziska von Rothermann, mit der er einen Sohn hatte. Die beiden begannen sich aber schnell voneinander zu entfremden - die Ehe wurde 1923 geschieden -, und B. zog sich zunehmend von seiner Familie zurück, um sich seinen philosophischen Studien zu widmen.
