Friedrich Heinrich Fouque (Baron de la Motte) was a German poet and novelist. He was born in 1777 and died in 1843. A grandson of Heinrich Fouque, he served as a lieutenant of the Prussian guards in the campaign of 1792, and thereafter lived in rural retirement, but again returned to the army, and was present at the most important battles in the campaign of 1813. As a writer his work is marked by fantastic unreality and extravagance of conception. Several of his tales, Der Zauberring (Magic Ring), Undine, and Aslauga's Ritter (Aslauga's Knight), have been very popular.
