Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wild Huntsman: A Legend of the Hartz The Hartz Mountains are massed in wild and rued beauty on the wide Prussian plain, where they are the first of the German highlands to meet the moist, cold winds from the North Sea. They were the final stronghold of belief in Woden and his sad train of twilight gods, and to-day for the whole German Fatherland they are the home of poetic myth and weird folk-tale. Julius Wolff, their great singer, and the youngest and last of the school of German romantic poets, was born in 1834 at Quedlinburg on the borders of the Hartz land. His novels, dramas, and lyrics have brought him fame, but he became the most popular of living German poets through the powerful and delicate epics that recount in a new form of rhymed narrative the shadowy legends of old Germany. In an ever-changing variety of story and spirit, constant only in a fervent and lofty patriotism, he wrote Tannhauser, The Ratcatcher of Hamelin, The Wild Huntsman, The Lorelei, The Flying Dutchman, Till Eulenspiegel Redivivus, and The Pappenheimer.
