KURZ, HERMANN (18131873) ,
German
  poet and novelist, was born at Reutlingen on the 3oth of November 1813. Having studied at the theological
seminary
  at Maulbronn and at the university of
Tubingen
 , he was for a time assistant pastor at Ehningen. He then entered upon a literary career, and in 1863 was appointed university librarian at
Tubingen
 , where he died on the loth of October 1893. Kurz is less known to fame by his poems, Gedichte (1836) and Dichtungen (1839), than by his historical novels, Schillers Heimatjahre (1843, 3rd ed., 1899) and Der Sonnenwirt (1854, 2nd ed., 1862), and his excellent translations from
English
 , Italian and Spanish. He also published a successful

Tristan
  and Isolde (1844). His collected works were published in ten volumes (
Stuttgart
 , 1874), also in twelve volumes (
Leipzig
 , 1904).
His daughter, ISOLDE KURZ, born on the 21st of December 1853 at
Stuttgart
 , takes a high place among contemporary lyric poets in Germany with her Gedichte (Stuttgart, 1888, 3rd ed. 1898) and Neue Gedichte (1903), Her short stories, Florentiner Novellen (1890, 2nd ed. 1893), Phantasien and Marchen (1890), Italienische Erzahlungen (1895) and Von Dazumal (1900) are distinguished by a fine sense of form and clear-cut
style
 .
