Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUSAUS, JOHANN KARL AUGUST (1735-1787) , German author, was born on the 29th of
March
  1735 at Jena, studied theology at the university, and would have become the pastor of a parish but for the resistance of some peasants, who objected that he had been known to dance. In 176o to 1762 he published in three volumes his first
work
 , Grandison der Zweite, afterwards (in 17811782) rewritten and issued with a new title, Der deutsche Grandison. The object of this book was to satirize Samuel Richardson's hero, who had many sentimental admirers in Germany. In 1763 Musaus was made master of the
court
  pages at
Weimar
 , and in 1769 he became professor at the
Weimar
  gymnasium. His second bookPhysiognomische Reisendid not appear until 17781779. It was directed against
Lavater
 , and attracted much favourable attention. In 1782 to 1786 he published his best
work
  Volksmarchen der Dents-then. Even in this
series
  of tales, the substance of which Musaus collected among the people, he could not refrain from
satire
 . The stories, therefore, lack the simplicity of genuine folk-
lore
 . In 1785 was issued Freund Heins Erscheinungen in Holbeins Manic?. by J. R. Schellenberg, with explanations in
prose
  and verse by Musaus. A collection of stories entitled Straussfedern, of which a volume appeared in 1787, Musaus was prevented from completing by his death on the 28th of October 1787.
The Volksmarchen have been frequently reprinted (Dusseldorf, 1903, &c.). They were translated into French in 1844, and three of the stories are included in Carlyle's German Romance (1827) ; Musaus's Nach elassene Scriften were edited by his relative, A. von Kotzebue (1791. See M. Muller, J. K. A. Musaus (1867), and an essay by A. Stern in Beitrage zur Literaturgeschichte des z8. Jahrhunderts (1893).
