LOGAU, FRIEDRICH

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 878 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOGAU, FRIEDRICH , FREIaERR VON (1604-1655), German epigrammatist, was born at Brockut, near Nimptsch, in Silesia, in June 1604. He was educated at the gymnasium of
Brieg
  and subsequently studied law. He then entered the service of the duke of
Brieg
 . In 1644 he was made " ducal councillor." He died at
Liegnitz
  on the 24th of July 1655. Logau's epigrams, which appeared in two collections under the pseudonym " Salomon von Golaw " (an anagram of his real name) in 1638 (Erstes Hundert Teutscher Reimensprilche) and 1654 (Deutscher Sinngedichte drei Tausend), show a marvellous range and variety of expression. He had suffered bitterly under the adverse conditions of the time; but his
satire
  is not merely the outcome of personal feeling. In the turbulent age of the Thirty Years' War he was one of the few men who preserved intact his intellectual integrity and judged his contemporaries fairly. He satirized with unsparing hand the
court
 
life
 , the useless bloodshed of the war, the lack of national
pride
  in the German
people
 , and their slavish imitation of the French in customs, dress and speech. He belonged to the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft under the name Der Verkleinernde, and regarded himself as a follower of Martin Opitz; but he did not allow such ties to influence his independence or originality.
Logau's Sinngedichte were edited in 1759 by G. E. Lessing and K. W. Ramler, who first drew attention to their merits; a second
edition appeared in 1791. A
critical
  edition was published by G. Eitner in 1872, who also edited a selection of Logau's epigrams for the Deutsche Dichter des X VII. Jahrhunderts (vol. iii., 187o) ; there is also a selection by H. Oesterley in Kiirschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur, vol. xxviii. (1885). See H. Denker, Beitrage zur literarischen Wiirdigung Logaus (1889); W. Heuschkel, Untersuchungen fiber Ramlers and Lessings Bearbeitung Logauscher Sinngedichte (1901).
