  Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (January 12, 1751 - May 24, 1792) German writer of the Sturm und Drang period.
Lenz was born in Seßwegen/Cēsvaine, Livonia and died in Moscow.
Lenz's plays, such as Der Hofmeister and Die Soldaten generally centred on social criticism, although his poetry was much darker and can be seen as a sign of a conflicted mental state, and later insanity.

In Strassburg Lenz was received into the literary circle that gathered round Friedrich Rudolf Salzmann (1749-1821) and became acquainted with Goethe, at that time a student at the university.
Lenz endeavoured, after Goethe's departure from Strassburg, to replace the great poet in her affections, and to her he poured out songs and poems (Die Liebe auf dem Lande) which were long attributed to Goethe himself, as was also Lenz's first drama, the comedy, Der Hofmeister, oder Vorteile der Privaterziehung (1774).
Lenz, though one of the most talented poets of the Sturm und Drang period, presented a strange medley of genius and childishness.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Lenz
Lenz' anguish and his awareness of the insanity which threatens him from within, the moments of exaltation, the indifference and his longing for oneness are part of a clinical condition.
Lenz is in a critical state: he may either recover or his psyche may be overcome and destroyed by the illness.
Lenz is deeply moved by the poor and pious peasant congregation, his soul awakens to beneficial pain and he “is overcome by infinite well-being”.

 The Birmingham Lenz Project
Lenz’s interest was not merely literary, however, and over the next two years he invested considerable time and energy in analysing the organisation of the army and developing possible solutions to the problem of its integration into society.
Lenz’s investigations drew him into arguments concerning such matters as the manning of garrisons, the organisation of military assaults, and the proper social conduct of soldiers and their wives.
Lenz’s drafts show that he was also considering other formats, such as attempts at a letter-novel or a proposal for a set of laws governing marriage and divorce, but there are also loose sheets, and it is yet not clear how many distinct versions of the project are reflected in these papers.

 Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz: Leben, Werke, und Büchners Darstellung
Goethe, der damals auch in Straßburg studierte, machte auf Lenzen den größten Eindrück: Lenz wurde durch dessen Einfluß ein überzeugter Vertereter der Sturm-und-Drang Bewegung.
Bald wurde Lenz zum Hofpoeten in Weimar, und der Kreis seiner Freunden schloß sich noch enger und freundlicher zu: »Der Herzog, Goethe, Wieland und Lenz duzen einander«, [18] schreibt Rosanow, aber diese Freundlichkeit wird nicht sehr lange nich aufbewahrt.
In Straßburg besuchte Lenz noch einmal einen streng pietistischen Pastor namens Schtuder: dieser überzeugte Lenzen, er müsse noch viel beten, und schickte ihn dann wieder nach Emmendingen zu Schlosser.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Die Soldaten [The Soldiers]
Lenz was a pioneer of a radically open form of drama in German, which broke with the classical poetics of Aristotle and challenged the primacy of French neo-Classicism on the German stage.
Lenz makes the consequences of irresponsible soldierly behaviour considerably graver in his play than they were in the real-life case of Cleophe Fibich.
Lenz may have given Marie’s story this rather peremptory conclusion in order not to detract from the final scene, which relates her downfall to wider social and political issues.

 Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz
In Strasbourg Lenz was received into the literary circle that gathered round Friedrich Rudolf Salzmann (1749-1821) and became acquainted with Goethe, at that time a student at the university.
In order to be close to his young pupils, Lenz removed to Fort Louis in the neighborhood, and while there became deeply enamored of Goethe's friend, Friederike Elisabeth Brion (1752-1813), daughter of the pastor of Sesenheim.
Lenz endeavored, after Goethe's departure from Strasbourg, to replace the great poet in her affections, and to her he poured out songs and poems (Die Liebe auf dem Lande) which were long attributed to Goethe himself, as was also Lenz's first drama, the comedy, Der Hofmeister, oder Vorteile der Privaterziehung (1774).

 [No title]
Lenz seems to be perpetually gasping for air, caught up in escaping the emptiness of insanity hard on his heels.
The next day Lenz is forced to strike off on his own and discovers a hut in Fouday where a girl lies dying, watched over by an old woman and a holy man. Deeply moved by the girl’s expression of suffering, Lenz returns home and begins an ascetic regimen of sackcloth, fasting and prayer.
Lenz continues his nocturnal splashes in the town fountain, but now jumps out of his window (his room is now in the parsonage) to incur even greater damage.

 The Mumpsimus
Lenz, though, is a work I have already read in a couple of different translations, and it's short, so I was able to read the entire book in a few days.
Buchner's story, here translated admirably by Richard Sieburth, is based on some moments in the life of Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751-1792), a contemporary of Goethe who is best remembered, if he is remembered at all, for two plays, The Tutor and The Soldiers, both of which are minor masterpieces.
Lenz also wrote poetry, essays, and an epistolary poem, but they haven't garnered much attention over the years, at least not in the U.S.) Lenz seems to have suffered from schizophrenia, and his erratic behavior, delusions, and suicide attempts are the primary focus of Buchner's story.

Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, a writer whose work has received increasing attention lately for its prefiguration of the theater of our own century, emerges in these articles written by prominent Germanists and literary critics as a man ahead of his times, bedeviled by the neuroses of modernity.
At the beginning of his career in the early 1770s, Lenz was so highly regarded that he was compared to Goethe.
But Lenz had trouble establishing himself both socially and as a writer, and only Der Hofmeister was staged during his lifetime.

 Sturm und Drang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The greatest figure of the movement was Goethe, who wrote its first major drama, Götz von Berlichingen (1773), and its most sensational and representative novel, Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (The Sorrows of Young Werther, 1774).
Other writers of importance were Klopstock, J. Lenz, and Friedrich Müller.
The last major figure was Schiller, whose Die Räuber and other early plays were also a prelude to romanticism.

 German Theory and Criticism: 1. Sturm und Drang - Weimar Classicism
A relatively small group of intellectuals that included Johann Georg Hamann (1730-88), Heinrich Wilhelm von Gerstenberg (1737-1823), Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751-92), Johann Gottfried von Herder (1744-1803), Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), and Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) began to experiment with new modes of theoretical and critical as well as poetic, dramatic, and fictional discourse.
Because traditional distinctions between different types of discourse began to break down, through the dissociation of aesthetic and moral concerns or the interpenetration of literary and philosophical discourse, these new modes of discourse also made new models of interpretive practice necessary.
Only Lenz in his review of the novel recognized the necessity for judging Werther aesthetically in terms of conflicting cultural demands and not morally with respect to socially acceptable norms (Lenz, Mandelkow).

He wrote it when unable to work as a teacher (disallowed because of 'unconstitutional activities'), and when the professional ban was lifted in 1976 he had already grown into a writer.
Büchner outlines the character of Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, the founder of German social drama and friend of Goethe, who finally meets a sorry end in Moscow after restless wanderings through different countries and cities.
Schneider, by contrast, places his Lenz into the real-life relationships of a young 1968 rebel who for years has made placards, written inflammatory pamphlets, taken part in meetings and demos, and spoken until everyone was tired of hearing his voice, again and again led endless discussions; occasionally he had even thrown stones.

For Lenz, Goethe was a true poetic genius, a model of perfection to be revered by the young poets of the Sturm und Drang.
Lenz is known as one of the representatives of the Sturm und Drang, yet when Pandämonium Germanikum is interpreted from a religious perspective, his affinity to the pietism, still evident in his poetic work, becomes apparent.
Comparing Immanuel Jakob Pyras' poem Der Tempel der wahren Dichtkunst (1737) to Lenz's satire, it is manifest that Lenz adheres to the notion that the world is a representation of the divine order.

His aim: ‘To concentrate… all theatrical media for the purpose of communication in a place created specially for this purpose.’ The commissionees at Cologne Opera House, Oscar Schuh and Wolfgang Sawallisch, were having none of it.
In London, ENO was the first to stage it only five years ago or so (small wonder, considering a run in Munich in 1969 required 33 orchestral rehearsals and 377 for the soloists, according to Grove) and even then they shirked many of the demands made by the score.
