He See also:early displayed a See also:genius for See also:poetry and his youthful attempts at See also:drama excited the See also:interest and admiration of some influential persons. Owing to their assistance See also:young Hamerling was enabled to attend the gymnasium in See also:Vienna and subsequently the university. In 1848 he joined the student's See also:legion, which played so conspicuous a See also:part in the revolutions of the See also:capital, and in 1849 shared in the See also:defence of Vienna against the imperialist troops of See also:Prince See also:Windischgratz, and after the collapse of the revolutionary See also:movement he was obliged to hide for a See also:long See also:- TIME (0.

escape See also:arrest. For the next few years he diligently pursued his studies in natural See also:science and See also:philosophy, and in 1855 was appointed See also:master at the gymnasium at See also:Trieste. For many years he battled with See also:ill-See also:health, and in 1866 retired on a See also:pension, which in See also:acknowledgment of his See also:literary labours was increased by the See also:government to a sum sufficient to enable him to live without care until his See also:death at his See also:villa in Stiftingstal near See also:Graz, on the 13th of See also:July 1889. Hamerling was one of the most remarkable of the poets of the See also:modern Austrian school; his See also:imagination was See also:rich and his poems are full of See also:life and See also:colour. His most popular poem, Ahasver in Rom (1866), of which the See also:emperor See also:Nero is the central figure, shows at its best the author's brilliant See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

See also:Psyche (1882). His novel, See also:Aspasia (1876) gives a finely-See also:drawn description of the Periclean See also:age, but like his tragedy See also:Danton and See also:Robespierre (187o), is somewhat See also:stilted, showing that Hamerling's genius, though rich in imagination, was ill-suited for the realistic presentation of See also:character.
A popular edition of Hamerling's works in four volumes was published by M. M. Rabenlechner (See also:Hamburg, 1900).
