Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dove in the Eagle´s Nest, Vol. 1 of 2 In sending forth this little book, I am inclined to add a few explanatory words as to the use I have made of historical personages. The origin of the whole story was probably Freytag´s first series of Pictures of German life: probably, I say, for its first commencement was a dream, dreamt some weeks after reading that most interesting collection of sketches. The return of the squire with the tidings of the deaths of the two knights was vividly depicted in sleep; and, though without local habitation or name, the scene was most likely to have been a reflection from the wild scenes so lately read of. In fact, waking thoughts decided that such a catastrophe could hardly have happened anywhere but in Germany or in Scotland; and the contrast between the cultivation in the free cities and the savagery of the independent baron made the former the more suitable region for the adventures.
