CLAUDIUS, MATTHIAS (174o-1815)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 466 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLAUDIUS, MATTHIAS (174o-1815) , German poet, other-wise known by the nom de plume of Asmus, was born on the 15th of August 1740 at Reinfeld, near
Lubeck
 , and studied at Jena. He spent the greater part of his life in the little town of Wands-beck, near Hamburg, where he earned his first literary reputation by editing from 1771 to 1775, a newspaper called the Wandsbecker Bote (Wandsbeck Messenger), in which he published a large number of
prose
  essays and poems. They were written in pure and simple German, and appealed to the popular
taste
 ; in many there was a vein of extravagant humour or even
burlesque
 , while others were full of quiet meditation and solemn sentiment. In his later days, perhaps through the influence of Klopstock, with whom he had formed an intimate acquaintance,
Claudius
  became strongly pietistic, and the graver side of his nature showed itself. In 1814 he removed to I-Iamburg, to the
house
  of his son-in-law, the publisher
Friedrich
  Christoph Perthes, where he died on the 21st of January 1815.
Claudius
 's collected works were published under the title of Asmus omnia sua secum portans, oder .Samtliche Werke des Wandsbecker Boten (8 vols., 17751812 ; 13th edition, by C. Redich, 2 vols., 1902). His
biography
  has been written by Wilhelm Herbst (4th ed., 1878). See also M. Schneidereit, M. Claudius, seine Weltanschauung and Lebensweisheit (1898).
