 | | As a lyric poet, Uhland must be classed with the writers of the romantic school, for, like them, he found in the middle ages the subjects which appealed most strongly to his imagina~ tion. |
 | | Uhland wrote manly poems in defence of freedom, and in the states assembly of Wurttemberg he played a distinguished part as one of the most vigorous and consistent of the liberal members. |
 | | In 1829 he was made extraordinary professor of German literature at the university of Tubingen, but he resigned this appointment in 1833, when it was found to be incompatible with his political views. |
