Albert Friedrich Benno Dulk (1819 - 1884) was a German author.[1]Dulk
was born in Königsberg to Friedrich Philipp Dulk (1788â€"1851). He
studied medicine and the natural sciences in Königsberg and in
Leipzig and Breslau. He took an active part in the popular uprisings
of 1848, at which time his revolutionary drama Lea appeared. After
traveling in the Orient, he settled in Geneva in 1850, and
subsequently in Stuttgart, where he wrote the dramas Jesus der Christ
(1865) and Simson (1859), in which play the conflict between Judaism
and paganism is depicted. One of his later dramas, König Enzio, was
set to music by Johann Joseph Abert.[1]As an adherent of socialism he
became conspicuous, in 1871, through his opposition to the
Franco-Prussian War, and his publications Patriotismus and
Frömmigkeit obtained a wide circulation. In 1882 he founded in
Stuttgart the first society of freethinkers in Germany, and during the
last years of his life devoted his pen principally to the discussion
of the radical side of religio-philosophical subjects.[1]
