He graduated in law at Tubingen in 1810, and from 1812 to 1814 practised at Stutt- gart in connection with the ministry of jus- tice. He wrote poetry for periodicals as early as 1806. The war of independence against Napoleon roused his patriotic feelings, and the first collection of his Gedichte (1815) was re- ceived with great enthusiasm ; and over 50 edi- tions, gradually enlarged, have since appeared. In 1819 he became a member of the Wurtem- berg assembly. He was professor of the Ger- man language and literature at Tubingen from 1830 to 1833, when he resigned to take a more active part as a liberal leader in the diet, from which he retired in 1839. In 1848 he was a member of the Frankfort parliament. His works include, besides the above mentioned collection of Gedichte, the dramas Ernst von Schwaben and Ludwig der Bayer (1817-'19 ; 3d ed., 1863) ; Alte hoch- und niederdeuteche Volkslieder (1844-'5) ; and Schriften zur Ge- schichte der Dichtung und Sage (8 vols., 1865- '73), comprising his learned works relating to early German and Norse literature and my- thology. He had in his days no superior as a lyrical poet. Longfellow has translated some of his pieces. Alexander Platt translated his "Poems" (Leipsic, 1848), W. W. Skeat his "Songs and Ballads" (London, 1864), and W. C. Sanders his "Poems" (1869).
