Novalis's ‘Heinrich von Ofterdingen'

'This masterful translation of Heinrich von Ofterdingen provides a wonderful introduction to Novalis's seminal novel of German Romanticism. Both first-time readers and established scholars will likewise benefit from Owen Ware's extensive, insightful, and clearly written critical commentary.' Dennis F. Mahoney, Emeritus Professor of German, University of Vermont
'With this new translation and critical study, Owen Ware provides an invaluable guide to students to one of the most evocative and complex novels of German Romanticism, setting it in its philosophical and literary contexts. Vitally, he also presents, by stressing the variegated concept of love in Novalis, a stimulating new interpretation of Heinrich von Ofterdingen.' Joanna Raisbeck, Lecturer in German Studies, University College London
