Bianca Bloch (19 January 1848 – early May 1901),[1] also known by the pen name B. Waldow, was a German author.

Biography

Bloch was born in 1848 in Lauban, Silesia. Her father was attendant at a local court, who could only afford to send his children to primary school.[2] She subsequently made up for the deficiency by extensive reading.[2] In this, as in her literary work, she was encouraged by Bernhard Stavenow of Görlitz, who recognized her talent and encouraged it.[3]

In collaboration with C. von Breckheyde (Aline Neumann) she wrote two plays, Ein Heisser Tag—a farce, 1881; and Vor dem Fest—a comedy, 1889. Her other works are: Blauaugen—a farce, 1891; In Ernster Zeit—a drama; Lieutenant und Assessor, oder Maiwein—a comedy; and Strohwitwer—a farce, 1892. Bloch also published poetry and fiction in various magazines.[2]
