Description

Does the real tap root of modern weird fiction some from German literary Romanticism? It may well. Here editor Henry Morley presents three fascinatingly outre works of German romanticism: _Peter Schlemihl, the Shadowless Man_ by Adelbert Chamisso; The Story Without an End, by Friedrich Wilhelm Carode; and Hymns to Night by Novalis. _Peter Schlemihl, the Shadowless Man_ was first published in 1814; it tells the story of a young man who sells his shadow to the Devil in exchange for the Purse of Fortunatus. He hopes to use this legendary source of limitless wealth to help him woo he beloved -- but his love is doomed, of course. What sane women would want to marry a man who'd done business with the devil? The Story Without an End (1830), is an artificial fairy tale -- a literary creation, not a folktale -- that mixes fairy tale traditions with philosophical ideals. Novalis's Hymns to Night is a work of acknowledged influence on Romantic thought: Navalis is sometimes called the prophet of Romanticism. work; seven months after the publication, Novalis died the same disease that had claimed his love. Novalis's central image is a blue flower, and that blue flower became a symbol of longing for the unattainable among Romantics. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
