Johann Karl Simon Morgenstern ({{osd|28 August|1770|17 August}} – {{osd|15 September|1852|3 September}})[1] was a German philologist in Livonia, the first director of the library of the Imperial University of Dorpat. He coined the term Bildungsroman.

Biography

Morgenstern was born in Magdeburg. He studied at the University of Halle under Johann August Eberhard in philosophy and Friedrich August Wolf in philology.

In 1802 he moved to Dorpat in Livonia, Russian Empire (now Tartu, Estonia) where he would spend the rest of his life. He held the chair for rhetoric, classical philology, aesthetics, and history of art and literature at the newly refounded University of Dorpat and was the first director of its library.

The character of his work changed in Dorpat. He discontinued his Plato studies and wrote about literature, art, philology, and philosophy. Morgenstern's former teacher Friedrich Wolf was disappointed by this development, and he remarked in 1808 that his student was growing more elegant, vain, and boring with the years.[2] It was in the course of this work that Morgenstern coined "Bildungsroman".

Even after his retirement in 1834 Morgenstern stayed in Dorpat. He bequeathed his 12,000-volume library, containing many manuscripts and a good part of the Kant estate, to the university.

Works

  • De Plationis Republica commentationes tres (1794)
  • Auszüge aus den Tagebüchern und Papieren eines Reisenden (1811–1813)
  • Über den Geist und Zusammenhang einer Reihe philosophischer Romane (1817)
  • Über das Wesen des Bildungsromans (1820)
  • Zur Geschichte des Bildungsromans (1824)

Cultural references

In William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride the fictional author S. Morgenstern is almost certainly a nod to Morgenstern's coining of the term Bildungsroman, as the novel is representative of the genre.
