Karel Sudimír Šnajdr

Karel Sudimír Šnajdr (1766–1835) was a Czech and German poet of the Czech National Revival. Bowring calls him Karel Sudimír Šnaidr, notes that his German name was Schneider, and describes him as one of the liveliest and most humorous of the Bohemian poets.

He first made a name as a writer of German verse, then turned to Czech. Bowring gives two pieces in English: a short lament that the Czech muse came to him so late, and the ballad of the silver bell, built on a popular superstition.
