MULLNER, AMANDUS GOTTFRIED ADOLF (1774—1829) , See also:German dramatic poet, See also:nephew of Gottfried See also:August See also:Burger, (q.v.), was See also:born at Langendorf near See also:Weissenfels on the 18th of See also:October 1774. After studying See also:law at See also:Leipzig he established himself as See also:advocate at Weissenfels and made his debut as an author with the novel See also:Incest, See also:oder der Schutzgeist von See also:Avignon (1799). He next wrote a few comedies for an See also:amateur See also:theatre in Weissenfels; these were followed by more pretentious pieces: Der angolische Kaer (1809) and Der Blitz (1814, pub'. 1818), after See also:French See also:models. With his tragedies, however, Der neonund-zwanzigste Februar (1812), and especially See also:Die Schuld (1813; publ. 1816), See also:Milliner became the representative of the so-called Schicksalsdramatiker, and for several years " See also:fate-tragedies " on the See also:model of Die Schuld dominated the German See also:stage. His later plays, See also:Konig Yngurd (1817) and Die Albaneserin (182o), were less important. Notwithstanding his See also:literary success, Mullner did not neglect his profession, and was given the See also:title of Hofrat; he also edited various See also:journals, and had a reputation as a vigorous if somewhat acrimonious critic He died at Weissenfels on the 11th of See also:June 1829. Mullner's Vermischte Schriften appeared in 2 vols. (1824–1826) ; his Dramatische Werke in 8 vols. (1828; 2nd ed., 1832). In 1830 four supplementary volumes were published containing mainly See also:criticism.
