About This Book
A strange, ingenious novel, the most representative work of early German
Romanticism! This extraordinary fusion of novel, fairy tale, and poem, published
posthumously in 1802, is the most representative work of early German
Romanticism. It reflects, in part, events in the life of its author, who is best
known for his Hymns to the Night. Young Henry, a medieval poet who seeks the
mysterious Blue Flower with the lovely face of the yet unknown Mathilda, sets
out on a journey that is interspersed with beautiful tales and exquisite songs.
Henry's "education," as he catches first glimpses of the world, is of special
interest to students of philosophy as well as literature, for ingeniously
involved in literary form is the crux of Fichte's mysticism. Novalis, like
Rouseeau, makes an interesting contribution to the "supreme realism" that
transcends the ordinary. Henry von Ofterdingen is an important landmark in the
history of literature and the most distinguished work of its brilliant and
tragic author.
