Eduard Sievers
Encyclopedia : E : ED : EDU : Eduard Sievers
Eduard Sievers (25 November 1850, Lippoldsberg - 30 March 1932, Leipzig) was a German philologist, of the classical and Germanic languages.
He was one of the Junggrammatiker of the so-called Leipzig School. He was an important figure in the recovery of the poetic traditions of Germanic languages such as Anglo-Saxon and Old Saxon.
Sievers' analysis of the rhythms of Anglo-Saxon poetry possibly influenced the poetry of Ezra Pound[#endnote_zbc]
