NOVALIS HYMNS TO THE NIGHT IN TRANSLATION Edited by Carol Appleby A new edition of Novalis' Hymns To the Night, translated by George MacDonald, Henry Morley, M.J. Hope and Paul B. Thomas. Includes the German text and illustrations. With an introduction and bibliography. Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg, 1772-1801) is the most mystical of the German Romantic poets. He is at once the most typical and the most unusual of the German Romantic writers, indeed, of all Romantic poets. His best known work, Hymnen an die Nacht , was published in 1800. Novalis is supremely idealistic, far more so than Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or Heinrich Heine. He died young, which makes him, like Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats, something of a hero (or martyr). He did not write as much as Shelley, but his work, like that of Keats or Arthur Rimbaud, promised much. It's true, Novalis' work is supremely idealistic, and utopian. But it is also mystical, because it points towards the invisible, unseen and unknown, and aims to reach that ecstatic realm Illustrated. 132pp. www.crmoon.com
Autorenporträt
NOVALIS (Georg Philipp Friedrich von Hardenberg, 1772-1801) was perhaps the greatest of the poets of German Romanticism. The author of Hymns to the Night, he died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. As the great 20th-century theologian Karl Barth observed, "We shall only be able to speak of a true Neo-romanticism for all time when Romanticism is once again seriously taken up in the sense that Novalis understood it, and in his spirit."
