Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REBEL, JOHANN PETER (176o-1826) , German poet and popular writer, was born at Basel on the loth of May 1760. The father dying when the child was little over a year old, he was brought up amidst poverty-stricken conditions in the
village
  of Hausen in the Wiesental, where he received his earliest education. Being of brilliant promise, he found friends who enabled him to complete his school education and to study theology (1778-1780) at Erlangen. At the end of his university course he was for a time a private tutor, then became teacher at the Gymnasium in Karlsruhe, and in 18o8 was appointed director of the school. He was subsequently appointed member of the Consistory and " evangelical
prelate
 ." He died at Schwetzingen, near
Heidelberg
 , on the 22nd of September 1826. Hebel is one of the most widely read of all German popular poets and writers. His poetical narratives and lyric poems, written in the "Alemanic" dialect, are " popular " in the best sense. His Allemannische Gedichte (1803) " bucolicize," in the words of Goethe, " the whole world in the most attractive manner " (verbauert das game Universum auf die anmutigste Weise). Indeed, few
modern
  German poets surpass him in fidelity, naivete, humour, and in the freshness and vigour of his descriptions. His poem, Die Wiese, has been described by Johannes
Scherr
  as the " pearl of German idyllic poetry "; while his
prose
  writings, especially the narratives and essays contained in the Schatzkastlein des rheinischen Hausfreundes (
Tubingen
 , 1811; new edition, Stuttg. 1869, 1888), belong to the best class of German stories, and according , to August
Friedrich
  Christian Vilmar (1800-1868) in his Geschichte der deutschen Literatur are " worth more than a cartload of novels " (wiegen ein gauzes Fuder Romane auf). Memorials have been erected to him at Karlsruhe, Basel and Schwetzingen.
A complete edition of Hebel's worksSdmtliche Werkewas first published at
Stuttgart
  in 8 vols. (18321834); subsequent editions appeared in 1847 (3 vols.), 1868 (2 vols.), 1873 (edited by G.
Wendt
 , 2 vols.), 1883-1885 (edited by O. Behaghel, 2 vols.) and 1905 (edited by E. Keller, 5 vols.), as well as innumerable reprints. Hebel's correspondence has been edited by 0. Behaghel (1883). See G. Langin, J. P. Hebel, ein Lebensbild (1894), and the introduction to Behaghel's edition.
