Biography edit
He was born in Stuttgart, studied at Tübingen, and in 1840 became professor at the gymnasium in Stuttgart. He wrote Gedichte (1831), Dichtungen epischer und episch-lyrischer Gattung (1840), and Der Welsche und der Deutsche (1844); translations of Bulwer and Byron; the critical work Uhland und Rückert (1837); and an attack on Heinrich Heine, which Heine replied to in his work Der Schwabenspiegel (“The Swabian mirror,” 1838). Pfizer's poetry has been said[by whom?] to be more original and reflective than most of the products of the Swabian school.
