Hamann, Johann Georg (1730–1788)| German author. He stressed the irrational in life, and greatly influenced Goethe and the Sturm und Drang movement. The obscurity of his writings earned him the name ‘Magus of the North’. He wrote Sokratische Denkwürdigkeiten 1760 and Kreuzzuge eines Philologen 1762. |
| He was born in Königsberg. After trying various callings he finally devoted himself to the study of ancient languages and Eastern literature. |
