Dear friend! there was a time when my breast too basked in great hopes, when for me too the joy of immortality throbbed in every pulse, when I would wander amid grand designs as if in some vast sylvan night, when, like the fish of the ocean, I’d happily press on and ever onwards in my shoreless future.
-Friedrich Hölderlin, Hyperion

Reading the last chapters of „Fabelhafte Rebellen“ by Andrea Wulf is like reading the saddest ending of a novel.

Before I start a new book, I usually pore through it to see if I like it enough. This time it's Andrea Wulf's Magnificent Rebels, about the Jena Romantics. It looks very good, and she did an interview over on the podcast "The Rest is History" about it, titled "Germans Behaving Badly".
But then there are the chapter titles: The first is titled "'A happy event' Summer 1794: Goethe and Schiller". That sounds like the beginning of a Schoethe rom-com. Something tells me I'll be getting a fare share of slander about my OTP here.
Chapter 5 is "'Philosophy is originally a feeling' Summer 1796: Novalis in Love" and if that doesn't get me all warm and fuzzy about our boy Fritz and his wholesomeness, I don't know what does.
Chapter 6 (part of the title anyway) is "The Schlegels Arrive" which is funny for some reason.
Then there's Scandals Parts One and Two. AKA German Romanticism is a soap opera.
Which it was.
Long story short, I think I'm going to love this book as will all my mutuals, especially the Schoethe enthusiasts and other fans of this movement.
