Author Description Johann Ludwig Tieck was a German poet, translator, editor, novelist, and critic, who was part of the Romantic movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.<br /><br />Tieck's importance lay in the readiness with which he adapted himself to the new ideas which arose at the close of the 18th century, rather than in any conspicuous originality. His importance in German poetry is restricted to his early period. In later years it was as the helpful friend and adviser of others, or as the well-read critic of wide sympathies, that Tieck distinguished himself.<br /><br />Tieck remained influential as dramatic adviser to the theatre at Dresden, and as an editor of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/383195.Hans_Sachs" title="Hans Sachs" rel="nofollow noopener">Hans Sachs</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/503283.Martin_Opitz" title="Martin Opitz" rel="nofollow noopener">Martin Opitz</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/627600.Andreas_Gryphius" title="Andreas Gryphius" rel="nofollow noopener">Andreas Gryphius</a>, and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/616630._Daniel_Casper_von_Lohenstein" title=" Daniel Casper von Lohenstein" rel="nofollow noopener"> Daniel Casper von Lohenstein</a> and of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/54427.Heinrich_von_Kleist" title="Heinrich von Kleist" rel="nofollow noopener">Heinrich von Kleist</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/45787._Jakob_Michael_Reinhold_Lenz" title=" Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz" rel="nofollow noopener"> Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz</a>. <br /><br />Tieck also influenced Richard Wagner's <i>Tannhäuser</i>.
