Schwarze Romantik, Gothic etc.

serious assortment


	Dracula Author: Bram Stoker	Dracula is a very late work, the high times of Gothic Novels were allready over. The book starts good with impressing descriptions, but, to tell the truth, writing and structure are very low level. Only the plot is fascinating and survived, ever "undead".

	Der Sandmann (The Sandman) Author: E.T.A. Hoffmann	"The Sandman" is allready late Romantic and his author, Hoffmann, wasn't liked in Germany for a long time, but english-speaking writers like Edgar Poe admired him. Hoffmann was very interessted in mental disease, so his works are pre-psychologically.

	Der Runenberg Author: Ludwig Tieck	Tieck is one of the most interessting German writers during Romantik. "Der Runenberg" first looks simple in it's structure and plot, but is in fact one of the most complicated writings of Schwarze Romantik.
