“Provides a kind of handbook to this [German Romantic] movement…All the varieties are here: magical, musical, political and aesthetic…[An] excellent translation.”
—Times Literary Supplement
“These tales are hard to find in translation and this is a thoughtful grouping…one of the great strengths of these tales is their lack of inhibition: they risk gesture, idealism, passion and freely subvert the demands of naturalism. The power of the mind is compellingly dramatized.”
—Literary Review
“Will be of interest to students of Romanticism and philosophy in any language. General readers may also appreciate the fiction-writing skill of these 3 authors.”
—Academic Library Book Review
“A nice compilation of representative German Romantic short fiction. It is eminently suitable for general readers and for undergraduate classroom use.”
