MARTIN VON See also:BODENSTEDT (1819–1892)
, See also:German author, was See also:born at See also:Peine, in See also:Hanover, on the 22nd of See also:April 1819
.
He studied in See also:Gottingen, See also:Munich and See also:Berlin
.
His career was determined by his engagement in 1841 as See also:tutor in the See also:family of See also:Prince See also:Gallitzin at See also:Moscow, where he gained a thorough knowledge of See also:Russian
.
This led to his See also:appointment in 1844 as the See also:head of a public school at See also:Tiflis, in See also:Transcaucasia
.
IIe took the opportunity of his proximity to See also:Persia to study See also:Persian literature, and in 1851 published a See also:volume of See also:original See also:poetry in See also:oriental See also:guise under the fanciful See also:title, See also:Die Lieder See also:des Mirza Scha, jjy (See also:English trans. by E. d'Esterre, 1880)
.
The success of this See also:work can only be compared with that of See also:Edward See also:FitzGerald's See also:Omar Khayyam, produced in somewhat similar circumstances, but differed from it in being immediate
.
It has gone through 16o See also:editions in See also:Germany, and has been translated into almost all See also:literary See also:languages
.
Nor is this celebrity undeserved, for although See also:Bodenstedt does not attain the poetical See also:elevation of FitzGerald, his view of See also:life is wider, more cheerful and more sane, while the See also:execution is a See also:model of See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace

On his return from the See also:East, Bodenstedt engaged for a while in journalism, married the daughter of a See also:Hessian officer (Matilde, the Edlitam of his poems), and was in 18J4 appointed See also:professor of See also:Slavonic at Munich
.
The See also:rich stores of knowledge which Bodenstedt brought back from the East were turned to See also:account in two important books, Die Volker des Kaukasus and ihre Freiheits-Kdmpfe gegen die Russen (1848), and Tausend and ein Tag See also:im Orient (1850)
.
For some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time Bodenstedt continued to devote himself to Slavonic subjects, producing See also:translations of See also:Pushkin, See also:Lermontov, Turgweniev, and of the poets of the Ukraines, and See also:writing a tragedy on the false See also:Demetrius, and an epic, Ada die Lesghierin, on a Circassian theme
.
Finding, probably, this vein exhausted, he exchanged his professorship in 1858 for one of See also:Early English literature, and published (1858–1860) a valuable work on the English dramatists contemporary with See also:Shakespeare, with copious translations
.
In 1862 he produced a See also:standard See also:translation of Shakespeare's sonnets, and between 1866 and 1872 published a See also:complete version of the plays, with the help of many coadjutors
.
In 1867 he undertook the direction of the See also:court See also:theatre at IVleiningen, and was ennobled by the See also:duke
.
After 1873 he lived successively at See also:Altona, Berlin and See also:Wiesbaden, where he died on the 19th of April 1892
.
His later See also:works consist of an autobiography (1888), successful translations from See also:Hafiz and Omar Khayyam, and lyrics and dramas which added little to his reputation
.
An edition of his collected works in 12 vols. was published at Berlin (1866--1869), and his Erz¢hlungen and Romane at See also:Jena (1871-1872)
