Eduard Jacobson (1833–1897)
Jacobson, Eduard (yä’kub-son). A German comic poet; born at Great Strelitz, Upper Silesia, Nov. 10, 1833; died in 1897. He studied medicine, but wrote ‘Faust and Gretchen’ in his college days, and thus learned what he was fitted for. A host of laughable nothings have followed it. Among his best works ‘500,000 Devils’ and ‘The Man in the Moon’ may be cited.
