See also:AUERSPERG, ANTON See also:ALEXANDER, See also:GRAF VON (18(36-1876) , See also:Austrian poet, who wrote under the See also:pseudonym of See also:ANASTASIUS GRiiN, was See also:born on the 11th of April18o6, at See also:Laibach, the See also:capital of the Austrian duchy of See also:Carniola, and was See also:head of the Thurn-am-See also:Hart See also:branch of the Carniolan See also:cadet See also:line of the See also:house of Auersperg. He received his university See also:education first at See also:Graz and then at See also:Vienna, where he studied See also:jurisprudence. In 183o he succeeded to his ancestral See also:property, and in 1832 appeared as a member of the estates of Carniola on the Herrenbank of the See also:diet at Laibach. Here he distinguished himself by his outspoken See also:criticism of the Austrian See also:government, leading the opposition of the duchy to the exactions of the central See also:power. In 1832 the See also:title of " imperial See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger. Chamarling, Chamarlinc, whence also the Med. Lat. cambellanus, camerlingus, camerlengus; Ital. camerlingo; Span. camerlengo, compounded of 0. H. Ger. Chamara, Kamara [Lat.

chamberlain " was conferred upon him, and in 1839 he married Maria, daughter of See also:Count Attems. After the revolution of 1848 at Vienna he represented the See also:district of Laibach at the See also:German See also:national See also:assembly at See also:Frankfort-on-the-See also:Main, to which he tried in vain to persuade his Slovene compatriots to send representatives. After a few months, however, disgusted with the violent development of the revolution, he resigned his seat, and again retired into private See also:life. In 186o he was summoned to the remodelled Reichsrat by the See also:emperor, who next See also:year nominated him a life member of the Austrian upper house (Herrenhaus), where, while remaining a keen up-holder of the German centralized See also:empire, as against the federalism of Slays and See also:Magyars, he greatly distinguished himself as one of the most intrepid and influential supporters of the cause of liberalism, in both See also:political and religious matters, until his See also:death at Graz on the 12th of See also:September 1876.
Count Auersperg's first publication, a collection of lyrics, Bldtter der Liebe (1830), showed little originality; but his second See also:production, Der letzte See also:Ritter (1830), brought his See also:genius to See also:light. It celebrates the deeds and adventures of the emperor See also:Maximilian I. (1493-1519) in a See also:cycle of poems written in the strophic See also:form of the See also:Nibelungenlied. But Auersperg's fame rests almost exclusively on his political See also:poetry; two collections entitled Spaziergange eines Wiener Poeten (1831) and' Schutt (1835) created a sensation in See also:Germany by their originality and bold liberalism. These two books, which are remarkable not merely for their outspoken opinions, but also for their easy versification and powerful imagery, were the forerunners of the German political poetry of 1840-1848. His Gedichte (1837), if anything, increased his reputation; his epics, See also:Die Nibelungen See also:im Frack (1843) and Der See also:Pfaff vom Kahlenberg (1850), are characterized by a See also:fine ironic See also:humour. He also produced masterly See also:translations of the popular Slovenic songs current in Carniola (Volkslieder aus Krain, 1850), and of the See also:English poems See also:relating to " See also:Robin See also:Hood " (1864).
Anastasius Gran's Gesammelte Werke were published by L. A. See also:Frankl in 5 vols. (See also:Berlin, 1877) ; his Briefwechsel mit L. A. Frankl (Berlin, 1897). A selection of his Politische Reden and Schriften has been published by S. Hock (Vienna, 1go6). See P. von Radics, Anastasius Griln (2nd ed., See also:Leipzig, 1879).
