Johann Ludwig Tieck was a German poet and critic, deeply embedded in the Romantic movement. His significance lies less in unique originality and more in his remarkable ability to adapt to the evolving ideas of his time. Later in his career, Tieck became recognized as a supportive friend and advisor to his peers, and as a widely-read critic with broad sympathies. His influence extended to the theatre, and his literary contributions inspired notable figures in music.
