Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The In?uence of the German Volkslied on Eichendorff's Lyric: A Dissertation
It is a generally accepted opinion that Eichendorff's contact with the German Volkslied had its beginning with the year 1807 when he first came under the influence of the Second Romantic School at Heidelberg. 'a careful consideration of the facts of his early life, however, indicates a definite development of his interest in the Volkslied from his early youth to his poetic maturity. His innate love for whatever is natural and simple, the almost ideal natural and social surroundings of his boyhood in his father's castle at lubowitz, his picturesque student life at Halle and Heidelberg, his close association with the leading members of the Second Romantic School, and his extensive travels through various parts of Germany and Aus tria, each in its own way tended to further this interest.
