A German dramatist, essayist, and translator; born in Deidesheim, July 10, 1842. Long a resident of London, he has studied the literature of England thoroughly; translating Tennyson's "Locksley Hall Sixty Years Later" (1888), and producing the series of studies on "Shakespeare and Montaigne" (1884) to which his chief celebrity is due. "Johanna Grey" (1881) and "The New Master" (1891) are well-written dramas on contemporary social questions.
