Why Is Nikolaus Lenau Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Nikolaus Lenau was the pen name of Nikolaus Franz Niembsch Edler von Strehlenau , a German-language Austrian poet. Biography He was born at Csatád , Kingdom of Hungary, now Lenauheim, Banat, then part of the Habsburg monarchy, now in Romania. His father, a Habsburg government official, died in 1807 in Budapest, leaving his children in the care of their mother, who remarried in 1811. In 1819 Nikolaus went to the University of Vienna; he subsequently studied Hungarian law at Pozsony and then spent the next four years qualifying himself in medicine. Unable to settle down to any profession, he began writing verse. The disposition to sentimental melancholy inherited from his mother, stimulated by disappointments in love and by the prevailing fashion of the romantic school of poetry, descended into gloom after his mother's death in 1829.
