- He grew up in poor circumstances and was denied higher education and university studies. Hebbel acquired his education autodidactically through constant reading while he worked as an errand boy and clerk for a church playmaster. His first poems were published in regional newspapers. In 1835 he went to Hamburg to prepare for studies. There he met Elise Lensing, his future lover, with whom he had two children. She and the writer Amalia Schoppe made it possible for him to stay in Hamburg. This period also marked the beginning of his diaries, in which he reflected on art, philosophy and his own works, and they also provide information about his life. They are among the most interesting remarks in 19th century literature. He stopped studying law in Heidelberg in 1836.
Hebbel went to Munich because he thought there would be better opportunities for his writing there. During this time he studied the great tragedies of Aeschylus, William Shakespeare and Friedrich Schiller. After an unsuccessful stay, he returned to Hamburg in 1839. There he worked as a reviewer and contributor to the "Telegraphen für Deutschland", a paper published by Karl Gotzkow. In 1840 Hebbel completed work on the tragedy "Judith", which established his reputation as a dramatic writer. In his polemic "My Word on Drama" (1843) he published his views on art and drama. In the same year he went on a trip to Paris, which he financed with a travel grant granted by the Danish king. There he met Heinrich Heine and the radical democrat Arnold Ruge. Further trips to Rome and Naples followed. In 1848 he finished an edition of poems that he dedicated to Ludwig Uhland.
His philosophical thoughts are reflected in the lyrical works, without developing them into pure abstract thought poetry. They are connected with reflections, personal and allegorical interpretations. From 1845 Hebbel lived in Vienna, where he also met his future wife, Christine Enghaus. They married in 1846. At the time of the revolution in 1848, the writer was already one of the well-known personalities in Vienna. As a zealous journalist, he championed the constitutional monarchy on a democratic basis. The marriage drama "Herod and Marianne" (1850) was also written during this time. In 1855 the drama "Agnes Bernauer" was published, which depicts the conflict between the individual right to freedom and love and the comprehensive state power. Here and in Hebbel's other dramas it becomes clear that the author addresses the concept of a lasting moral world order and uses less socio-historical change processes as a means of representation.
Hebbel consistently advocated independence for art. In the design of his dramatic works he followed the traditional structure. "Gyges and his Ring" was written in 1856. Hebbel was honored with the Schiller Prize in 1863 for the "Nibelungen" trilogy (1862). The national material and the author were particularly captured by the National Socialists in the Third Reich. This reception was damaging to the author. But criticism also came from colleagues, such as Gottfried Keller and other contemporaries. The accusations against Hebbel's material design were "artificial and complicated motivation" and "historical arbitrariness". On the other hand, there is the uniqueness of the "Nibelungen" design, which is based on the interplay of archaic size and a realism of individual psychological coloring.
In general, the mutual connection and interpenetration of the individual and the general is a basic literary tendency of Christian Friedrich Hebbel. The playwright gave the literary genre of tragedy a new dimension with "Maria Magdalena" (1844) and the conflict in the lower middle class world. His other works include "Genoveva" (1843), "The Diamond" (1847), "A Tragedy in Sicily" (1851), "Tales and Novellas" (1855), "Mother and Child" (1859) or "Demetrius" (1864).

He won the popular vote for three presidential elections-in 1884, 1888, and 1892-and was one of two Democrats (followed by Woodrow Wilson in 1912) to be elected president during the era of Republican presidential domination dating from 1861 to 1933.

His first play, "The World" (co-written with Paul John Meritt and Henry Pettitt) was put on at the Drury Lane in 1880. He co-wrote many more plays with both Meritt and Pettitt singularly, never again as a trio; he also collaborated with Henry Hamilton multiple times and had other co-writers.

As a young girl her family relocated to Chicago where her father became successful operating a business that transported live stock. She graduated from Cornell University in 1876 with a degree in English Literature after completing the four year course in less than three. In 1889, after her first marriage failed and her father had died, she became a teacher in the Chicago School System.
On 5 July, 1909 she married writer William Vaughn Moody at Wesleyan Methodist Church in Québec, Canada. When they had first met he was a Professor of English Literature at the University of Chicago. While most likely on their honeymoon, her husband became seriously ill on board a passenger ship in the South Atlantic. At first his illness mystified their doctors, but eventually they came to discover he had an inoperative brain tumor. William Vaughn Moody passed away at Colorado Springs on 17 October, 1910, less than fifteen months after they had married.
In the years follow her husband's death, she served as a writer and consultant on several films that were adapted from his works. Mrs. Moody became the first woman to serve as a trustee (1912-1922) at Cornell University. A patron the arts, she could count among her friends such poets as, John Masefield, Rabindranath Tagore, Padraic Colum and James Stephens. She was also known for assisting young poets, even to the point of letting them and their families into her home. In her 1948 book "A House in Chicago" Olivia H. Dunbar writes of Harriet Moody's romance and marriage with William Vaughn Moody and how, in the years following his death, her Chicago home became a mecca for many of the writers and intellectuals of that era.
Before the 1929 stock market crash greatly reduced her circumstances, she maintained a mansion in Chicago, an apartment in New York and a farm in New England. She owned a successful catering business with branches in both Britain and America that operated several French restaurants.

- William Jennings Bryan is an American orator and politician from Nebraska. Beginning in 1896, he emerged as a dominant force in the Democratic Party, running three times as the party's nominee for President of the United States in the 1896, 1900, and 1908 elections. He served in the United States House of Representatives and as the United States Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson.
Born and raised in Illinois, WilliamBryan moved to Nebraska in the 1880s. He won election to the House of Representatives in the 1890 elections, serving two terms before making an unsuccessful run for the Senate in 1894. The Democratic convention nominated Bryan for president, making Bryan the youngest major party presidential nominee in U.S. history. Subsequently, Bryan was also nominated for president by the left-wing Populist Party, and many Populists would eventually follow Bryan into the Democratic Party. In the intensely fought 1896 presidential election, Republican nominee William McKinley emerged triumphant. Bryan gained fame as an orator, as he invented the national stumping tour when he reached an audience of 5 million people in 27 states in 1896.
Bryan retained control of the Democratic Party and won the presidential nomination again in 1900. In the election, McKinley again defeated Bryan, winning several Western states that Bryan had won in 1896. Bryan's influence in the party weakened after the 1900 election and the Democrats nominated the conservative Alton B. Parker in the 1904 presidential election. Bryan regained his stature in the party after Parker's resounding defeat by Theodore Roosevelt and voters from both parties increasingly embraced the progressive reforms that had long been championed by Bryan. Bryan won his party's nomination in the 1908 presidential election, but he was defeated by William Howard Taft. Along with Henry Clay, Bryan is one of the two individuals who never won a presidential election despite receiving electoral votes in three separate presidential elections.
After the Democrats won the presidency in the 1912 election, Woodrow Wilson rewarded Bryan's support with the important cabinet position of Secretary of State. Bryan helped Wilson pass several progressive reforms through Congress. Bryan resigned from his post in 1915. - Ferdinand Gýra was born on 18 March 1861 in Prague, Cechy, Austrian Empire [now Czech Republic].

- A native of Sullivan County, Indiana, James Solomon Barcus was born March 18, 1863. Solomon, his father, was a blacksmith; his mother Martha was a granddaughter of Nathan Hinkle, the erstwhile Revolutionary War veteran. During his youth, the Barcus family struggled to make ends meet. Barcus dropped out of school frequently to work on his parents' farm. He finally earned a teaching certificate and taught at a school near Hymera, Indiana, for three years.
To better himself, he became a traveling book agent, peddling his wares by horse and buggy to farmers, preachers, doctors and lawyers. With scarcely enough money to pay railroad fare, he enrolled at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Meanwhile, in 1884 he married Bettie Belle Tichenor, a native of Pierson Township in Vigo County, Indiana. Bettie's older brother William attended the University of Michigan, graduating from its law school in 1893. Barcus worked his way through college selling books. Sometimes he had to pawn his watch, a cherished heirloom, to advance freight expenses. By the time he graduated from Michigan in 1891, publisher R.S. Peale & Co. hired him. Soon he was a full partner. Two years later he co-founded Clarke, Barcus & Co. in New York and secured exclusive rights to print and distribute "The Century Dictionary and Encyclopedia." He also formed J.S. Barcus Co., a publishing firm, and was president of Globe Publishing Co.
Widely known by 1895, Barcus wrote "The Science of Selling," a practical guide for canvassers. The proceeds allowed him to enroll at Columbia University School of Law. Solomon J. Barcus was a fervent Republican. Raised in a hotbed of conservatism, James "spent his childhood fighting Democrats." During the 1896 presidential campaign, he wrote "The Boomerang", a satirical analysis of one of Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan's speeches. The book was published by J.S. Barcus Co. The volume earned high praise among Republicans. By the time he earned a law degree in 1899, Barcus was 36 years old, affluent, a member of the Republican Party's committee on national affairs and an officer of several New York social clubs.
Though admitted to the New York bar, Barcus made an unconventional decision. In July 1899, James and Bettie Barcus bought a large home in Terre Haute, Indiana, and made it the most luxurious residence-law office in western Indiana. Barcus promptly became immersed in politics. When Republican Congressman George Washington Faris chose not to seek re-election in 1900, Barcus placed his hat in the ring to succeed him, campaigning on his record as a success as a publisher. He lost the nomination by three votes. Though residing in Indiana, Barcus maintained his New York publishing houses and acquired Success Magazine. In 1902, to support his political ambitions, he bought the Terre Haute Tribune, one of the city's daily newspapers, and was elected to the Indiana Senate.
"The Messages and Papers of Congress", a multi-volume set published by J.S. Barcus Co., made "enormous profit", triggering a congressional inquiry. Re-elected to the state senate, Barcus again tried to secure nomination to Congress. To aid that effort, he bought another local newspaper, the Terre Haute Gazette, and merged it with the Tribune, naming it the "Tribune-Gazette". When Holliday received the nomination again, Barcus abruptly resigned from the state legislature in September 1905 and returned to New York. He did retain his Terre Haute newspaper for several years afterwards.
Apparently his publishing empire continued to grow. His success persisted. Names associated with Barcus' triumphs include "The Classic Library of Famous Literature" and "The Consolidated Library". On April 13, 1914, "The Governor's Boss", an original play written by Barcus, opened at Charles Frohman's Gerrick Theater in New York. The next year, The Governor's Boss Photoplay Co. released a screen version of the play.
Before his death in Newark, New Jersey, at age 57 on May 3, 1920, Barcus wrote the novel, "The Repentance of Croesus", and published "The Governor's Boss" in novel form. - Edgar Syers was born on 18 March 1863 in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK.

Paul Le Flem was born in Radon, France to Célestin Louis Joseph Le Flem and Gabrielle Marie Le Flem. After his parents died when he was 12, Le Flem relocated to Lézardrieux, France, where he lived with his father's family, and would spent most of his life.
In 1895, at the age of 14, Le Flem attended the Brest Naval School, but had to resign because his vision was poor. While at Brest High School, he learned music, and the age of 15, he was composing his own pieces of music, inspired primarily by his homeland of Brittany. In 1899, Joseph Farigoul, the head of the band for the Brest naval fleets, encouraged Le Flem to go with him to Paris to enroll at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. He obtained a license in philosophy from the Faculty of Letters, and was taught by Henri Bergson, but left Paris in 1901. In September 1902, Le Flem and Claude Debussy departed for Moscow, learning Russian and attending the national school. Although he loved Russia, he refused the offer to become a flower plantation manager in Crimea, and returned to France because he was homesick.
In March 1904, Le Flem attended the Schola Cantorum in Paris, studying alongside composers Vincent d'Indy, Albert Roussel, and Edgard Varèse. In 1923, he succeeded Roussel's position as Professor of Counterpoint, and held the position until 1939, teaching Erik Satie and André Jolivet.
From 1905 to 1913, Le Flem composed his first works, which resulted in him getting mobilized in 1914, during World War I. During the war, he served as a stretcher-bearer, and was transferred to Mailly-le-Camp in May 1916. Because he spoke Russian fluently, he was assigned to the 1st Russian Special Regiment, led by Colonel Nietchvolodof. Nietchvolodof was impressed by Le Flem's music, so he had Le Flem create a brass band for the army.
Le Flem married Jeanne Louise Yvonne Marie Even, and had three children, two of which died in 1913 at an early age, so Le Flem wrote "Pour les morts" in their memory.
Le Flem was awarded for his service during the Attack of Fort de Brimont on April 16, 1917, and four days later, the regiment was relieved and returned to Talus-Saint-Prix, before being transferred again to Camp de La Courtine, assembling with 15,000 soldiers, including regiment mutineers. In 1918, Le Flem was responsible for inspecting the Russian soldiers in the Fourth Military Region at Bordeaux, and was assigned to private individuals in Mayenne, Sarthe, Orne and Eure-et-Loir. He would inspect agriculture, companies, and public utilities.
From 1906 to 1960, Le Flem worked as a music critic, but from 1921 to 1937, Le Flem worked as a music critic for Comoedia, and was intrigued by the talents of Igor Stravinsky and Darius Milhaud. In 1928, composers Adrien Rougier, André Caplet, and Jacques Ibert all paid tribute to him. Le Flem also joined the Seiz Breur, the Breton artistic movement of the 1930s. He also worked as a choirmaster and director of the Chanteurs de Saint-Gervais until 1939.
Through his daughter Jeanne Le Flem (1912-2007), Le Flem is the grandfather of Marika Green and the great-grandfather of Eva Green.
In 1936, Le Flem returned to composing, and did not stop until 1976, when he went blind at the age of 95. He died in 1984 in the geriatrics department of a hospital in Tréguier, France.- Cinematographer
