About the author

Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder

31 books6 followers
Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder (13 July 1773 – 13 February 1798) was a German jurist and writer. With Ludwig Tieck, he was a co-founder of German Romanticism.

Wackenroder was born in Berlin. He was a close friend of Tieck from youth until his early death. They collaborated on virtually everything they wrote in this period. Wackenroder probably made substantial contributions to Tieck's novel Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen (Franz Sternbald’s Wanderings, 1798), and Tieck to Wackenroder's influential collection of essays, Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders (Outpourings of an Art-Loving Friar, 1797). Outpourings is a tribute to Renaissance and medieval literature and art, attributing to them a sense of emotion Wackenroder and Tieck felt was missing in German Enlightenment thought. It was also the first work to claim for Northern Renaissance art a status equivalent to that of the Italian Renaissance, at least in the case of Albrecht Dürer. The Outpourings have been accorded a status in Germany akin to that of Lyrical Ballads in England, i.e. as the first work of the Romantic movement.

Wackenroder died in Berlin in 1798 at the age of 24 of a case of typhoid fever.

aaaaaaa das war so ein tolles buch ich ergieße mein herz noch immer. es hat einfach alles drin - medieval mönch roleplay, albrecht dürer x raffael händchenhalten szene, fan-mail und absolut zerreisende poetische gedichte, gemäldebeschreibungen und ein kleines abschlussgeschichtchen das mich dazu gebracht hat panisch im park spazieren zu gehen und mein leben zu hinterfragen :)
10/10 ich habe es direkt nochmal gelesen

me ha encantado! me ha abrazado! no es necesariamente top mejores libros k he leído, pero juntar literatura, religión e historia del arte es algo k simplemente no puede dejarme indiferente (encima me lo he leído en alemán tomatoma) tremendos tieck y wackenroder, un besazo para vosotros! este libro, más allá de lo k es como obra, ha significado mucho para mí por el momento, el contexto, lo k sé k va a desencadenar y lo k hay detrás de él…… lo guardo con mucho mucho anor en mi corazón 🫶🏻

Now this was a pain to read, albeit interesting and very relevant material for German Romanticism / Romantik as a literary "epoch"
