Schlegel, August Wilhelm von (1767–1845)

German Romantic author and translator of Shakespeare. His ‘Über dramatische Kunst und Literatur/Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature’ 1809–11 broke down the formalism of the old classical criteria of literary composition. Friedrich von Schlegel was his brother.

He played a major role in the development of musical aesthetics of the German idealism. Seven poems by Schlegel were set as songs by Schubert. See also Fierrabras (Schubert).
