GERMAN ROMANTIC POETS - AUTHORS VARIOUS LEINEN

German Romantic poetry is both fluid and formed  and it is full of song: the poems themselves
are often intrinsically lyrical  and many of them inspired some of the best-known musical
compositions of the nineteenth century. In this collection  we see German Romantic poets
confronting life's greatest moments and greatest challenges - love  loss  death - and producing
beautiful  and sometimes witty  works in response. Admiration for nature  in for particular the
dramatic forests which still cover large areas of Germany  is also prominent in their work.
Characters from myth and folklore abound too  most famously Lorelei  an enchantress who is
associated with the River Rhine  and who features in several poems in this volume. Gathered
here are favourites such as Goethe's 'Erl King'  Eichendorff's 'Night of Moon'  Heine's 'In May
the magic month of May'  along with works by some of the most famous women writers of the
period  Sophie Mereau  Karoline von Günderrode and Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The works have
been recreated in English verse by a range of poets and scholars
