translate English to German: In 1817 Tieck visited England in order to collect materials for a work on Shakespeare (unfortunately never finished) and in 1819 he settled permanently in Dresden; from 1825 on he was literary adviser to the Court Theatre, and his semi-public readings from the dramatic poets gave him a reputation which extended far beyond the Saxon capital.
Ende des Jahres 1797 traf Tieck erstmals mit Friedrich Schlegel zusammen. Nachdem er sich 1798 in Hamburg mit einer Tochter des Predigers Alberti verheiratet hatte, verweilte er 1799-1800 in Jena , wo er zu den beiden Schlegels, Hardenberg (Novalis), Brentano, Fichte und Schelling in freundschaftliche Beziehungen trat.
