Friedrich Schlegel was a prominent German poet, literary critic, philosopher, philologist, and Indologist. He played a crucial role in the Jena Romanticism movement alongside his brother, August Wilhelm Schlegel. After initially studying law, Schlegel shifted his focus to classical literature and pursued a career as a writer and lecturer. He established influential journals such as Athenaeum and later returned to Christianity. In 1809, Schlegel relocated to Austria, where he worked as a diplomat and journalist. His significant contributions to the Romantic movement, Indo-European studies, and comparative linguistics have had a lasting impact on scholars and composers.
