Translated by the great British historian Thomas Carlyle, it features seven highly influential tales that range in mood from fantasy and fairy tale lightness to witty satire. \u003ci\u003eShemlzie's Journey to Fletz\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLife of Quintus Fixlien\u003c\/i\u003e, a story and a novella by Richter, the least translated of the major German Romantics, are of particular note. \u003cbr\u003e Ludwig Tieck (1773-1859) is best known for his fantastic stories and short novels, which appeal more to the emotions than the intellect. He translated the works of Shakespeare and Cervantes into German, served as a literary advisor to Dresden's Court Theater, and ranked second only to Goethe as Germany's leading literary authority. \u003cbr\u003e Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825) bridged the shift in literature from the formal ideals of Weimar Classicism to the intuitive transcendentalism of early Romanticism. His works range in tone from sentimental humor to bitter satire and span a variety of genres, from fiction to treatises on education and aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486844794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Ludwig Tieck, Jean Paul Richter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637987111068,"sku":"9780486844794","price":6.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b9db9a90-91bd-4533-9cf6-0d795216a120.jpg?v=1603846170","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/great-stories-from-the-german-romantics-ludwig-tieck-and-jean-paul-richter-9780486844794","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
