Beschreibung

<b>A life of the nineteenth-century German writer and composer most famous for inspiring <i>The Nutcracker</i>.</b> E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) is celebrated for his supernatural fiction such as <i>The Sandman </i>as well as his musical achievements, notably the opera <i>Undine</i>. This book offers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to Hoffmann as a Romantic writer, composer, and public figure. It follows his life as a lawyer, theater director, and senior judge in Berlin, where he clashed with authorities over their persecution of student radicals. Drawing on Hoffmann's personal writings and contemporary recollections, Ritchie Robertson also highlights how historical events like Napoleon's invasion disrupted Hoffman's career. Considering his literary and musical contributions together, the book presents Hoffmann as a multifaceted artist whose inventiveness, both comic and spine-chilling, remains influential today.
