Uffo Daniel Horn
Uffo Daniel Horn (born May 18, 1817 in Trautenau , Bohemia ; † May 23, 1860 ibid) was a Bohemian poet.
Horn studied law in Prague and Vienna . At this time he tested his poetic talent in poetry and dramatic works, then made major trips to Italy, France, Hungary, Northern Germany and Belgium and lived in Dresden since 1846 . When he heard about the Czech movement that had broken out in Prague in the revolutionary year of 1848 , he traveled there. He appeared as a speaker for the German constitutional party, although he used to think little of the Czech cause, as his tragedy King Ottokar (4th edition, Prague 1859) shows. He participated as a volunteer in the Schleswig-Holstein War (1848-1851) to the end, which he reported in the publication Von Idstedt bis zu Ende (Hamburg 1851). Since then he has worked on numerous magazines and yearbooks, including from 1842 to 1858 on the literary yearbook Libussa by Paul Alois Klar (1801-1860) in his hometown of Trautenau, where he died on May 23, 1860.
Publications
Of his novellist works are to be emphasized: Bohemian villages, faithful pictures from the Bohemian folk life (Leipzig 1847, 2 volumes); From three centuries (Leipzig 1851, 2nd edition 1853) and Bunte Kiesel (Prague 1859); of his dramatic poems, the priceworthy game The Guardianship and the one-act drama Camoens in Exile (Vienna 1839). He also published poems (Leipzig 1847); The introduction of the Jesuits to Bohemia (1850). Uffo Horn is considered to be the author of the pamphlet Oesterreichischer Parnass (1842), a disrespectful account of the Austrian writers of the Vormärz .
