"Theodor Storm (1817-88), one of the leaders of nineteenth-century German Realism, achieved worldwide popularity with the novella Immensee in 1849. The work, which Storm himself referred to as a "Perle deutscher Poesie" (pearl of German poetry), reached over thirty editions and was translated into seventeen languages by the time of the author's death.
But in addition to being called a masterpiece by such leading literary lights of the day as Theodor Fontane and Paul Heyse, Immensee also attracted its share of criticism from the first, for instance as a mere sentimental love story. Then in the 1930s and forties Storm's novella was seized upon by right-wing critics as appropriate National Socialist reading material, which had the effect of sullying its reputation somewhat long after 1945. Since the 1960s Immensee's critical reputation has been rehabilitated, and both novella and Storm himself analyzed from a variety of new viewpoints, including Marxism and democratic humanitarianism.
Strehl's book chronicles the highlights of this critical history."--BOOK JACKET.
