A New Translation and Critical Study
Novalis’s ‘Heinrich von Ofterdingen’
Consumed by thoughts of a blue flower, Heinrich leaves his cold homeland and travels south until he meets Mathilde, who opens his eyes to the world's mysteries. Then a tragic event reveals the secret power of poetry…
"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, 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, University College London
