Lenau, Nikolaus

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Lenau, Nikolaus (1802–1850)

Austrian poet, born in Csatad, Hungary. His poetry is pervaded by a deep seriousness, often bordering on despair. Some of his most beautiful poems are contained in the Schilflieder 1832. He also wrote a longer work, Faust 1836, which dramatizes his own conflict between faith and knowledge, and an epic, Die Albigenser 1842. His works have frequently been set to music.

His melancholy ultimately damaged his mind and led to insanity.
