Nikolaus Lenau was born at Csatad near Temesvar in Hungary on August 15, 1802. His father, a government official, died at Budapest in 1807, leaving his children to the care of an affectionate, but jealous and somewhat hysterical, mother, who in 1811 married again.
In 1819 Lenau went to the university of Vienna; he subsequently studied Hungarian law at Pressburg and then spent the best part of four years in qualifying himself in medicine. But he was unable to settle down to any profession.
Nikolaus Lenau first published poems appeared in 1827, in J. G. Seidl's Aurora. In 1831 he went to Stuttgart, where he published a volume of Gedichte-dedicated to the Swabian poet Gustav Schwab. In October 1832 he landed at Baltimore and settled on a homestead in Ohio.
But the reality of life in " the primeval forest " fell lamentably short of the ideal he had pictured; he disliked the Americans with their eternal " English lisping of dollars "(1englischcs Talergelispel); and in 1833 he returned to Germany, where the appreciation of his first volume of poems revived his spirits.
From now on he lived partly in Stuttgart and partly in Vienna. In 1836 appeared Faust, in which Lenau laid bare his own soul to the world; in 1837, Savonarola, an epic in which freedom from political and intellectual tyranny is insisted upon as essential to Christianity. In 1838 appeared his Neuere Gedichte, which prove that Savonarola had been but the result of a passing exaltation.
In 1842 appeared Die Albigenser, and in 1844 he began writing his Don Juan, a fragment of which was published after his death. Soon afterwards his never well-balanced mind began to show signs of aberration, and in October 1844 he was placed under restraint. Lenau's Samtliche Werke were published in 4 vols. by A. Grim (1855); but there are several more modern editions, as those by M. Koch in Kiirschncr'sDeutscheNationalliteratur, vols.
154-155 (1888), and by E. Castle (2 vols. , 1900).
Lenau's fame rests mainly upon his shorter poems; even his epics are essentially lyric in quality. He is the greatest modern lyric poet of Austria, and the typical representative in German literature of that pessimistic IVeltschmerz which, beginning with Byron, reached its culmination in the poetry of Leopardi.

He had early begun to write verses; and the disposition to sentimental melancholy acquired from his mother, stimulated by love disappointments and by the prevailing fashion of the romantic school of poetry, settled into gloom after his mother's death in 1829. Soon afterwards a legacy from his grandmother enabled him to devote himself wholly to poetry.
