This article appears in Volume V18, Page 147 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENZEL, WOLFGANG (1798-1873) , German poet, critic and literary historian, was born on the 21St of June 1798, at Walden-burg in Silesia, studied at
Breslau
 , Jena and
Bonn
 , and after living for some time in Aarau and
Heidelberg
  finally settled in
Stuttgart
 , where, from 1830 to 1838, he had a seat in the Wurttemberg Diet. His first
work
 , a clever and
original
  volume of poems, entitled Streckverse (
Heidelberg
 , 1823), was followed in 1824-1825 by a popular Geschichte der Deutschen in three volumes and in 1829 and 183o by Rubezahl and Narcissus, the dramatized fairy-stories upon which his reputation as a poet chiefly rests. In 1851 he published the romance of Furore, a lively picture of the period of the Thirty Years' War; his other writings include Geschichle Europas, 1789-1815 (2 vols.
Stuttgart
 , 1853), and histories of the German War of 1866 and of the Franco-German War of 1870-71. From 1826 to 1848 Menzel edited a " Literaturblatt " in connexion with the Morgenblatt; in the latter year he transferred his allegiance from the Liberal to the Conservative party, and in 1852 his " Literaturblatt " was revived in that
interest
 . In 1866 his political sympathies again changed, and he opposed the " particularism " of the Prussian " junkers
and the
anti
 -unionism of
south
  Germany. He died on the 23rd of
April
  1873 at Stuttgart. His library of 18,000 volumes was afterwards acquired for the university of Strassburg.
