August Wilhelm von Schlegel - the house of a banker at Amsterdam, he went to Jena, where, in 1796, he married Karoline, the widow of the physician Böhmer and in 1798 was appointed extraordinary professor. Here he began his translation of Shakespeare, which was ultimately completed, under the superintendence of Ludwig Tieck, by Tieck's daughter Dorothea and Graf Wolf von Baudissin. This rendering is one of the best poetical translations in German, or indeed in any language. At Jena Schlegel contributed to Schiller's periodicals the Horen and the Musenalmanach; and with his brother Friedrich he conducted the Athenaeum, the organ of the Romantic school. He also published a volume of poems, and carried on a rather bitter controversy with Kotzebue. At this time the two brothers were remarkable for the vigour and freshness of their ideas,.
Clemens Brentano - Halle and Jena, afterwards residing at Heidelberg, Vienna and Berlin. He was close to Wieland, Herder, Goethe, Friedrich Schlegel, Fichte and Tieck. In 1801, he moved to Göttingen, and became a friend of Achim von Arnim. In 1804, he moved to Heidelberg and worked with Arnim on Zeitungen für Einsiedler and Des Knaben Wunderhorn. In the years between 1808 and 1818, he lived mostly in Berlin, and from 1819 to 1824 in Dülmen, Westphalia. In 1818, weary of his somewhat restless and unsettled life, he joined the Roman Catholic Church and withdrew to the monastery of Dulmen, where he lived for some years in strict seclusion. The latter part of his life he spent in Regensburg, Frankfurt and Munich, actively engaged in Catholic propaganda. He died at Aschaffenburg. Brentano, whose early.
Connop Thirlwall - own resolutions and convictions" led him to abandon for the time his intention of being a clergyman, and he settled down to study law, though he did not lose interest in other subjects. In the meantime, he took on the task of translating and prefacing Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher's essay on the Gospel of St Luke. He further rendered two of Johann Ludwig Tieck's most recent Novellen into English. In 1827 he made up his mind to finish with law, and was ordained deacon the same year. Thirlwall now joined Hare in translating Karsten Niebuhr's History of Rome; the first volume appeared in 1828. The translation was attacked in the Quarterly as favourable to scepticism, and the translators jointly replied. In 1831 they established the Philological Museum, which lasted only six.
Thomas Heywood - the Queen's Servants). In his preface to the English Traveller (1633) he describes himself as having had "an entire hand or at least a main finger in two hundred ane twenty plays." Of this number, probably considerably increased before the close of his dramatic career, only twenty-three survive. Heywood wrote for the stage, and protested against the printing of his works, which he said he had no time to revise. Johann Ludwig Tieck called him the "model of a light and rare talent", and his plays, as might be expected from his rate of production, bear little trace of artistic elaboration, Charles Lamb called him a "prose Shakespeare"; Professor Ward, one of Heywood's most sympathetic editors, pointed out that Heywood had a keen eye for dramatic situations and great constructive skill,.
Robert Schumann - essay on Chopin's variations on a theme from Don Juan, which appeared in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung in 1831. Here the work is discussed by the imaginary characters Florestan and Eusebius (the counterparts of Vult and Walt in Jean Paul's novel Flegeljahre), and Meister Raro (representing either the composer himself or Wieck) is called upon for his opinion. By the time, however, that Schumann had written Papillons (1831) he had gone a step farther. The scenes and characters of his favourite novelist had now passed definitely and consciously into the written music, and in a letter from Leipzig (April 1832) he bids his brothers "read the last scene in Jean Paul's Flegeljahre as soon as possible, because the Papillons are intended as a musical representation of that masquerade." In the winter.
Novalis - to study geology under Professor Abraham Gottlob Werner (1750-1817), whom he immortalized as the "Meister" in the fragment Die Lehrlinge zu Sais. Here he again became engaged to be married, and the next two years were fruitful in poetical productions. In the autumn of 1799 he read at Jena to the admiring circle of young romantic poets his Geistliche Lieder. Several of these, such as "Wenn alle untreu werden", "Wenn ich ihn nur habe", "Unter tausend frohen Stunden", still retain, as church hymns, great popularity. In 1800 he was an appointed Amtshauptmann (local magistrate) in Thuringia, and was preparing to marry and settle, when pulmonary consumption rapidly set in, of which he died at Weißenfels. His works were issued in two volumes by his friends Ludwig Tieck and Friedrich Schlegel (2.

The family was divided into eleven distinct lines, but only three survive, widely distributed throughout Prussia, Württemberg and Bavaria. Veit Ludwig von Seckendorf, son of Joachim Ludwig von Seckendorf, was born at Herzogenaurach, near Erlangen. In 1639 the reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Ernest the Pious, made him his protegé.
