Karl Lentzner

Karl Lentzner ( born May 25, 1842 in Frankfurt am Main, † May 13, 1905 in Berlin) was a German Anglist, Romance, Hispanist, German scholar and educator.

Life and work

Karl August Lentzner spent seven years in Argentina and Uruguay, and was in the 1870s as a teacher in Australia at the Sydney Grammar and Kings School. He was lecturer in Oxford, received his doctorate in Leipzig with work over the sonnet and its design in English poetry to Milton (1886 ), was at the University of Königsberg, and taught from 1902 until his death as professor of English at the Oriental Institute of the University Berlin. Many of his publications are to be understood as adaptations, translations and editions of other authors, such as his book Colonial English, which earned him the accusation of plagiarism.
