  August Wilhelm von Schlegel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Wilhelm von Schlegel (September 8, 1767 – May 12, 1845) was a German poet, translator, critic, and leader of German Romanticism.
Schlegel was made a professor of literature at the university of Bonn in 1818, and during the remainder of his life occupied himself chiefly with oriental studies, although he continued to lecture on art and literature, and in 1828 he issued two volumes of critical writings (Kritische Schriften).
As an original poet Schlegel is unimportant, but as a poetical translator he has rarely been excelled, and in criticism he put into practice the Romantic principle that a critic's first duty is not to judge from the standpoint of superiority, but to understand and to characterize a work of art.

 Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A permanent place in the history of German literature belongs to Friedrich Schlegel and his brother August Wilhelm as the critical leaders of the Romantic school, which derived from them most of its governing ideas as to the characteristics of the middle ages, and as to the methods of literary expression.
He was the real founder of the Romantic school; to him more than to any other member of the school we owe the revolutionizing and germinating ideas which influenced so profoundly the development of German literature at the beginning of the 19th century.
Friedrich Schlegel's wife, Dorothea, was the author of an unfinished romance, Florentin (180,), a Sammlung romantischer Dichtungen des Mittelalters (2 vols., 1804), a version of Lother und Maller (1805), and a translation of Madame de Staël's Corinne (1807-1808)--all of which were issued under her husband's name.

But his remarks were directed against one passage, in which Schlegel had claimed, in the 1795 version of the essay, that Athenian women's education, although largely restricted to women's handiwork, had also included attendance at the theater, which Schlegel himself had characterized as "the noble school of the Athenian citizen" (108).
Schlegel had in the meantime considered the implications of Böttiger's first, 1796 essay on Athenian women as spectators, and had modified his own claim in the 1797 publication so that it applied only to tragedy.
Schlegel, however, was unique among the German Hellenists in his concern, not just for the "dignity" of women, but also for their "natural rights." In his 1812 reference to "the rights of women," Schlegel was harking back to concerns which had preoccupied him and many of his contemporaries during the 1790's.

Their play on words is not the object of his censure; he detests the affectation which owes its existence to the spirit of society: but that which is excited by the luxury of imagination pleases him, in poetry, as the profusion of colours and perfumes would do in nature.
Schlegel's residence in this place, which may truly be called the classic soil of German literature, as it gained him the acquaintance of his eminent contemporaries Schiller and Goethe, marks a decisive epoch in the formation of his intellectual character.

Schlegel should be viewed from within his intellectual environment, which felt the accumulated effect--by the end of the eighteenth century--of more than one hundred fifty years of philosophical skepticism and historical and philological criticism of the Bible.
Schlegel's account of the historical development of religion was written as a response to the onslaught of critical histories of religion written by Enlightenment thinkers such as Hume, Tindal, and Reimarus.
Integral to this response was Schlegel's use of ancient Indian language and literature as evidence of the divine origin of language and of the one-time existence of an original and unadulterated revelation.
