A lyrical cross-section through the diversity of romanticism. The epoch was a heyday of poetry art. She turned to new themes, the fairytale, the night, longing, she developed new motifs such as forest solitude, moonlight and Loreley and aimed at the dissolution of the individual's boundaries in nature or in the universe. The selection ranges from the beginnings in Jena to late Romanticism, from melancholic self-reflection to cheerful folk songs, from well-known poems by Eichendorff to worthwhile discoveries such as Helmina von Chezy.
