About this listen

 Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, born in 1772 in Hannover, Holy Roman Empire, was the son of Johann Adolf Schlegel and Johanna Christiane Erdmuthe Hübsch. After attending Jena University, he forged friendships with many notable writers, including those connected to his brother, August Wilhelm Schlegel. Schlegels literary journey began with his first book, About the Diotima, published in 1795, followed by Lucinda in 1799. Calvin Thomas, the translator, famously dubbed Lucinda a naughty book in 1914, but its place in contemporary literature remains uncertain. The work is characterized by its fragmented structure, weaving together various disconnected parts. - Summary by Craig CampbellCopyright Family and Culture Art Literary History & Criticism World
