These do come up in the pieces translated in the book! I try to suggest ways Günderrode’s views on these things might be different from those of Novalis and F Schlegel.

The text of a 5 star review that reads: "My favorite thing about this book for me was actually the experience of finding and reading it. I will try my best to evoke that experience this way: This is the kind of book I can imagine finding in the corner of a library one day and just being becoming absolutely fascinated by. I was captivated by it, and felt like my connection to the past was deepened by it in a way. It was that kind of experience. There was something of a mystery about it for me. I was encouraged to view it in this way by the introductory chapters to the plays/poems, which promised, and went some way to reveal, the philosophical depths underneath the surface. I do have an interest in German Romanticism, but I think the book stands alone and is worth being read on its own terms, either as a powerful work of literature, an overlooked contribution to philosophy, or an interesting historical artifact of world thought."

My new book of #Günderrode translations is out next month, 10 years after my first book of translations, "Poetic Fragments." This lovely review of "Poetic Fragments" makes me feel I did something worthwhile.

It really has! It’s been exciting to watch so many other scholars doing great work on Günderrode while I was writing this.

Bit of a mixed bag today. Sent off the final proofs of a manuscript but received news of a dear friend’s family member passing. Both huge and pulling emotions in opposite directions.

That also sounds very interesting! I lived Copenhagen when I was a small child - I think my dad had some work there for a period of time and took me with him sometimes. I was very small but still remember Tivoli and the architecture in the city.

I’m going to read it. It sounds fascinating. I didn’t like being a child so I’m interested in other people who also noticed the negative aspects.

I’m incredibly shy about using my second languages but in the last 24 hours I’ve navigated 2 situations in Cantonese that would have been much harder without it 😃 It’s not much considering I’ve lived in HK nearly 10 years but I have had to work so hard at it.

It means I won’t be visiting, even though don’t think I even have anything they’d object to in my sm history. It’s a pity because I have good friends there but I already hate dealing with their unnecessarily aggressive airport staff.
