August von Platen-Hallermünde wrote at a period when the terms of literature itself were being argued over.
The record lists August von Platen-Hallermünde as German poet (1796-1835).
August von Platen-Hallermünde was born at Ansbach in 1796. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria. He was educated at University of Würzburg.
The eighteenth century built the literary marketplace - periodicals, subscription publishing, and readers who paid.
He worked as playwright, poet and writer.
The writing is recorded in German.
Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold best.
That the work was written from Kingdom of Bavaria matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
August von Platen-Hallermünde died in 1835, aged 39. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
