German poet and historian of literature; born at Leipsic June 14, 1835. He studied philosophy and history at Leipsic and Jena, and resided from 1853 to 1865 in Weimar, Chemnitz, Zittau, and Schandau, finally settling in Dresden, where in 1868 he became assistant professor, and the following year professor, of the history of literature and art at the polytechnic.

Stern's literary activity has been very extensive; of his many works the following may be mentioned:

Stern has edited the following works: W. Hauff's "Sämmtliche Werke," Berlin, 1879; Herder's "Ausgewählte Schriften," Leipsic, 1881; Chr. Gottfried Körner's "Gesammelte Schriften," ib. 1882; Vilmar's "Geschichte der Deutschen Nationallitteratur," Marburg, 1890 (to this work Stern added "Die Deutsche Nationallitteratur vom Tode Goethes bis zur Gegenwart," which appeared also in a separate edition); Peter Cornelius' "Gesammelte Gedichte," Leipsic, 1890. In collaboration with Erich Schmidt, Stern edited also Otto Ludwig's "Gesammelte Schriften," Leipsic, 1891 (with a life of the author, which appeared also separately). He has furthermore translated from the Swedish the poems of Count Snoilsky, Dresden, 1892.
