Detlev von Liliencron - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | DETLEV VON LILIENCRON (1844-1909), German poet and novelist, was born at Kiel on the 3rd of June 1844. |
| | Liliencron is one of the most eminent of recent German lyric poets; his Adjutantenritte, with its fresh original note, broke with the well-worn literary conventions which had been handed down from the middle of the century. |
| | Liliencron's work is, however, somewhat unequal, and he lacks the sustained power which makes the successful prose writer. |
