(1772–1829), German critic and philosopher, born in Hannover, and educated in law at the universities of Göttingen and Leipzig. Turning to literature, he wrote Die Griechen und Römer (The Greeks and Romans, 1797), one of several works on classical antiquity. From about 1798 he was the leading philosopher of the early romantic movement in German literature, expounding his ideas in the periodical he and his brother August Wilhelm had founded, the Athenaeum. Friedrich von Schlegel subsequently edited several other journals and also lectured on philosophy, history, and literature. His most important work, Über die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier (On the Language and Wisdom of India, 1808), helped establish the modern science of comparative linguistics. He also published a number of his lectures, a novel, Lucinde (1799; trans. 1913–15), and a tragedy, Alarcos (1802).
