The “Zeitung für Einsiedler” was one of the most original periodicals produced by German Romanticism. It was published by Achim von Arnim, who deliberately launched the paper without daily news stories as a kind of anthology. This intention was gradually overtaken by a literary feud with the translator of Homer and classicist Johann Heinrich Voß, and his newspaper, the “Morgenblatt”. Von Arnim published some of his own poems and the poetry of Bettine and Clemens Brentano, among others. The newspaper solicited scholarly articles and translations, including some received from the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and from Joseph Görres. The “Zeitung für Einsiedler” printed many translations of contemporary European literature. It also was the first to publish some of the best-known German fairy tales. The commentary included in this volume provides a historical and critical perspective for all the texts and illustrations.
