The Blue Flower
2 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover:
The Blue Flower is set in Germany at the very end of the eighteenth century. It tells the sotry of the brilliant Fritz von Hardenburg, a graduate of the Universities of Jena, Leipzig and Wittenberg, learned in Dialects and Mathematics, who later became the great romantic poet and philosopher, Novalis. The passionate and idealistic Fritz needs his father's permission to announce his engagement to his "heart's heart", his "true Philosophy", twelve-year-old Sophie von Kuhn. It is a betrothal which amuses, astounds and disturbs his family and friends. How can it be so?
I read this for a class and don't remember much about it, except that I didn't like it.
