50 Gedichte der Romantik

A lyrical cross-section of the diversity of Romanticism. This era was a golden age for poetry. It turned to new themes such as fairy tales, the night, and longing, exploring new imagery like solitude in the woods, moonlight, and Loreley, aiming for the expansion of the individual into nature or the universe. The selection ranges from the beginnings in Jena to late Romanticism, from melancholic self-reflection to cheerful folk songs, from well-known poems by Eichendorff to rewarding discoveries like Helmina von Chézy.
