Friedrich von Schlegel
Vielleicht seh' ich nie wieder einen Menschen wie Dich. Für mich bist Du der Oberpriester von Eleusis gewesen [Perhaps I will never meet another human being like you. To me you have been the high priest of Eleusis] (Novalis, letter to F. Schlegel, spring 1793
Almost five years after his older, equally prominent brother August Wilhelm Schlegel, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel was born in Hanover to Johanna Christiane and Johann Adolf Schlegel on 10 March 1772. But unlike his brother's, his biography was marred by scandals and a controversial reputation until his significance as a paradigmatic figure of the Romantic movement in Germany was at last acknowledged in the 1930s (Josef Körner, 1935). Best known for his theory of Early Romantic poetry published in his Athenaeum-fragments

Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829)
"Karl Wilhelm Friedrich (after 1814: von) Schlegel (/ˈʃleɪɡəl/; German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈʃleːgl̩];[10] 10 March 1772 – 12 January 1829), usually cited as Friedrich Schlegel, was a German poet, literary critic, philosopher, philologist and Indologist. With his older brother, August Wilhelm Schlegel, he was one of the main figures of the Jena romantics. He was a zealous promoter of the Romantic movement and inspired Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Adam Mickiewicz and Kazimierz Brodziński. The first to notice what became known as Grimm´s law, Schlegel was a pioneer in Indo-European studies, comparative linguistics, and morphological typology." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.11.2019)
