-
A Czech poet and philologist; born in Strakonitz, March 7, 1799; died in Prague, Aug. 5, 1852. His earlier work was journalistic and pedagogical, his reputation in poesy dating from the appearance of "Slav Folk-Songs" (1822), to which succeeded various brilliant performances of a like nature: "Echo of Russian Folk Songs" (1829); "Echo of Bohemian Folk Songs" (1840); etc. He translated Herder and Scott into his own vernacular with felicitous results.
