See also:WERNER, See also:FRIEDRICH See also:LUDWIG See also:ZACHARIAS (1768–1823) , See also:German poet, dramatist and preacher, was See also:born on the 18th of See also:November 1768 at See also:Konigsberg in See also:Prussia. From his See also:mother, who died a religious maniac, Werner inherited a weak and unbalanced nature, which his See also:education did nothing to correct. At the university of his native See also:place he studied See also:law; but See also:Rousseau and Rousseau's German disciples were the influences that shaped his view of See also:life. For years he oscillated violently between aspirations towards the See also:state of nature, which betrayed him into a See also:series of rash and unhappy marriages, and a sentimental admiration—in See also:common with so many of the Romanticists—for the See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

talent was See also:early recognized and obtained for him, in spite of his See also:character, a small See also:government See also:post at See also:Warsaw, which he exchanged after-wards for one at See also:Berlin. In the course of his travels, and by See also:correspondence, he got into See also:touch with many of the men most eminent in literature at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time; and succeeded in having his plays put on the See also:stage, where they met with much success. In 1814 he was ordained See also:priest, and, exchanging the See also:pen for the See also:pulpit, became a popular preacher at See also:Vienna, where, during the famous See also:congress of 1814, his eloquent but fanatical sermons were listened to by crowded congregations. He died at Vienna on the 17th of See also:January 1823.
Werner was the only dramatist of the Romantic See also:movement
who—thanks to the See also:influence of See also:Schiller—was able to sub-See also:ordinate his exuberant See also:imagination to the See also:practical needs of the stage. His first tragedy, See also:Die Sohne See also:des Tals (1803-1804), is in two parts, and it was followed by Das Kreuz an der Osisee (18o6).

Martin See also:Luther, See also:oder die Weihe der Kraft (1807), which, after his See also:con-version to Catholicism, Werner recanted in a poem Weihe der Unkraft (1813). His powerful one-See also:act tragedy, Der vierundzwanzigste Februar (1815, but performed 181o), was the first of the so-called " See also:fate tragedies." See also:Attila (1808), Wanda (181o) and Die Mutter der Makkabaer (182o) show a falling-off in Werner's See also:powers.
