Uhland, (Johann) Ludwig

Japanese: ウーラント（英語表記）Uhland， (Johann) Ludwig

Born: April 26, 1787 in Tübingen
[Died] November 13, 1862. Tübingen. A German Romantic poet. Famous for his folk-song-style lyric poems and ballads. He studied law at the University of Tübingen, became a lawyer, and was elected to the parliament. After the failure of German unification, he lectured on medieval German literature as a professor at his alma mater. He also showed a deep interest in folk song research, and wrote many works in this field. His widely recited works, such as Schäfers Sonntagslied (Shepherd's Sunday Songs) and Des Knaben Berglied (Boys' Mountain Songs), were both written before he was 20 years old. His lyric poems have a simple beauty, and sing of the nature of his hometown, Swabia, with simple emotions, but they try to sing of national and ethnic emotions rather than personal lyricism. In addition to ballads, he also showed his talent in epic poems based on the German and Latin Middle Ages. His most famous academic work is Walther von der Vogelweide (1822).

ドイツ・ロマン派の詩人。民謡風の抒情詩，バラードで有名。テュービンゲン大学で法律を学び弁護士となり，議員にも選出された。ドイツ統一挫折後，母校の教授としてドイツ中世文学を講じた。民謡研究にも深い関心を示し，この方面での著作も多い。広く愛誦される『羊飼いの日曜の歌』 Schäfers Sonntagslied，『少年の山の歌』 Des Knaben Bergliedなどはいずれも 20歳前の作品。彼の抒情詩は簡素な美しさをもち，故郷シュワーベンの自然を素朴な感情で歌っているが，個人的抒情というより国民的民族的な感情を歌おうとしている。バラードのほか，ドイツ中世，ラテン中世に材をとった叙事詩にもその才能を発揮した。学問的な著作では『ワルター・フォン・デル・フォーゲルワイデ』 Walther von der Vogelweide (1822) が代表作。
