A German novelist, poet, and critic; born in Breslau, Sept. 30, 1823. As a critic his subtlety and acuteness of treatment give him a growing influence. Among his works in criticism are: "Pictures of Travel in Italy"; "Portraits and Studies"; "Studies in the Direction of a New German Literature"; and "Literary Silhouettes". His critical studies are not permitted to interrupt the production of brilliant plays, stories, and poems.
