Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann (24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822), better known by his pen name E. T. A. Hoffmann (he changed Wilhelm into Amadeus out of his admiration for Mozart), was a German author of the early 1800s, the early Romantic era, known for his Gothic and fantastical stories. Born in Königsberg, Prussia (today Kaliningrad, Russia), he became a lawyer, following the family tradition, though without much enthusiasm, as he was drawn to music, literature and the arts. He entered a career as a civil servant in Prussian Poland, held a position in Warsaw and had a young wife, when, in the course of The Napoleonic Wars, French troops captured the city in 1806 and forced the Prussian administration to flee. This led to a troubled time in Hoffmann’s life during which he faced poverty, separation from his wife, and the death of his infant daughter, while looking for employment all over Germany. For the following years (spent in Bamberg, Leipzig and Dresden), Hoffmann worked as a theatre manager, music teacher, stagehand, decorator, playwright, and musical director, but neither of these jobs lasted so long or was so well paid as to put him out of financial troubles. In 1813, he was again overtaken by war when the family experienced the Battle of Dresden. Nevertheless, Hoffmann in 1809/10 achieved breakthrough both as a writer and music critic. But only when a twist of fate allowed him to resume his civil service career in Berlin, he finally enjoyed financial security. He continued to write besides his day job, but alcohol abuse and syphilis – which he had contracted during his wandering years – led to his early death at the age of 46. Hoffmann is Germany's foremost writer of what has later been called 'Dark Romanticism'. While his lighter works mix fairy tale fantasy with realism, others delve headlong into the grotesque, the uncanny, the supernatural, and horror. Some are simply weird. At the same time, Hoffmann also relished sophisticated satire, self-parody, and wry, ironic humor. You're right, Hoffmann was an European version of Poe before there was Poe. During his life (and long afterwards as well) he remained a polarizing writer. His taste for Ghost Stories brought him the derisive nickname "Gespenster-Hoffmann" (Ghosts-Hoffmann), Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called his fiction “sick”, and Walter Scott likewise ended a 1827 review of his works with the conclusion that Hoffmann should have sought medical help. Notwithstanding, Hoffmann’s fiction played a key role for 19th century Fantasy, Horror, and the emerging Mystery genre. Hoffmann's literary fame has also overshadowed that in his own time, he was a fairly respected music critic – particularly known for his reviews of Ludwig van Beethoven – and himself a composer of Romantic music; his probably most ambitious and successful work being the opera Undine . Several creators have cast a fictionalized Hoffmann as a character in their works, such as Alexandre Dumas in The Woman with the Velvet Necklace and Jacques Offenbach in his opera ''The Tales of Hoffmann'' (''Les Contes d'Hoffmann''), which itself has seen several adaptations. Works of E. T. A. Hoffmann include: Stories and Novellas note Mostly contained in three collections published during his life: Fantasy Pieces in Callot's Manner , Night Pieces , and The Serapion Brethren . "The Artushof'' "The Entail'' Mademoiselle de Scuderi "The Mines of Falun" The Nutcracker and the Mouse King": Best known as the basis for Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker'' ballet. "The Sandman" "The Golden Pot": A fairy tale novella. "Little Zaches, Great Zinnober ": a fairy tale about the Fake Ultimate Hero taken Up to Eleven. Master Flea : Another fairy tale. although, for its time, it might just as well be science fiction. The Devil's Elixirs : A Gothic novel, directly inspired by M. G. Lewis' The Monk . The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr, together with a fragmentary Biography of Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler on Random Sheets of Waste Paper (unfinished) Works by E. T. A. Hoffmann with their own pages include: "The Artushof" "The Entail" The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr "Mademoiselle de Scuderi" "The Mines of Falun" "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" "The Sandman" Other works by E. T. A. Hoffmann contain examples of: Aerith and Bob: Hoffmann enjoyed peppering his words with weird names and titles. Some of them are obscure, others are latinate renderings of familiar names but expect to find his stories filled with the likes of Anselmus, Meradus, Lindhorst, Brambilla, Dapertutto alongside Antonia, Veronica, Tobias Martin and others. Alternative Character Interpretation: invoked His story Don Juan introduces the idea that Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni is secretly in love with Giovanni. Ambiguous Disorder: Perigrinus Tyss definitely looks to be somewhere on the autistic spectrum. Anachronic Order: The Kreisler segments in The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr . Astrologer: A frequent trope. Author Avatar: Theodor in the Frame Story of The Serapion Brethren . Also, to a degree, Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler, a character that had started out as a pseudonym Hoffmann used as a music critic, and became a protagonist in Kreisleriana (a cycle of short stories) and Tomcat Murr . Author Existence Failure: Invoked — in failing health, Hoffmann abandoned writing The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr . His pet cat, also named Murr and an inspiration for the story, had died. The book was published with a note saying that its "author", Murr, had left it unfinished at his death. Beast Fable: The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr obviously owes much to this genre. Betty and Veronica: A common trope among Hoffmann male protagonists is a struggle between a down-to-earth normal girl and a more exotic and potentially dangerous woman: Klara and Olimpia in The Sandman , the Narrator's Wife and Giulietta in A New Year Eve's Adventure . His story The Golden Pot even has a girl named Veronica only here she's the Betty, while the Veronica for Anselmus is Serpentina. Bite of Affection: The titular character of "Master Flea" offers to bite Peregrinus's finger as a sign of their friendship since they can't shake hands. Bunny-Ears Lawyer: His character Johannes Kreisler, a genius musician and composer but also legitimately insane and downright antisocial. Crossover: "Master Flea" briefly mentions Archivist Lindhorst, who is one of the main characters in "The Golden Pot". Direct Line to the Author: In a send-up of this trope the conceit of Tomcat Murr is that Hoffmann was handed Murr's manuscript by an intermediary for publication, but that he neglected to examine the pile before he passed it on to the publisher. He thus only noticed that Murr's autograph manuscript was mixed up with fragments of the proofs of another book, a biography of Kapellmeister Kreisler by another author when the Tomcat Murr was already set and it would have been too expensive to reset and remove the parts that "didn't belong". Doppelgänger: His signature trope. Fake Ultimate Hero: Zaches. Finger Snap Lighter: Archivist Lindhorst once lit a few pipes that way. Framing Device: The story collection The Serapion Brethren has a circle of friends telling stories as a framing device. This commemorates the real- life Serapionsbrüder , an informal Berlin-based group of friends that included, among others, Hoffmann and fellow writers Adelbert von Chamisso ( Peter Schlemihl ) and Friedrich de la Motte-Fouqué ( Undine ). note The group took this name because when they reunited after a long interruption following Chamisso's circumnavigation of the Earth on board the Russian ship Rurik , it happened to be on the day of St. Serapion, 14 November 1818. Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: the main antagonist of "The Golden Pot" is stated to be a child of a dragon's feather and a sugar beet. Just try to imagine that. Hypocrisy: Tomcat Murr opens with a stereotypically modest foreword by Murr — signing "Murr (Etudiant en belles lettres)" note "Murr (student of writing)". — in which he expresses the hope that his paltry effort will find mercy in the eyes of reviewers and readers. Unfortunately Murr forgot to remove the discarded first draught for the foreword — signed "Murr (Homme de lettres très rennomé)" note "Murr (man of letters of great renown)." — which then immediately follows. Here Murr expresses rather different sentiments: The Nutcracker. Hoffmann's classic Christmas fairy tale, immortalised by Tchaikovsky's ballet, is brought to life by the gorgeous contemporary artwork of Finnish illustrator, Sanna Annuka. On Christmas Eve, Fritz and Marie excitedly await the arrival of Godfather Drosselmeier and the marvellous gifts he brings for them every year. When Marie discovers a curious nutcracker doll among the presents, she suddenly finds herself caught up in an age-old battle before being transported to a magical world of sugar-frosted castles, chocolate kings, and true love. Sanna Annukka is familiar to many from her collaborations with Marimekko and her artwork for Keane's album, Under the Iron Sea. The Nutcracker is her third book project. This cloth-bound edition combines the charm of Hoffmann's original nineteenth-century tale with the freshness of Sanna Annuka's gorgeous illustrations. E.T.A. Hoffmann. The disturbing tale of a young man's obsession with the Sandman, stealer of eyes, which has inspired writers from Sigmund Freud to Neil Gaiman. It wasn't until the 1950s that seeing The Nutcracker at Christmastime became an American tradition. But the story itself is much older and its original intent more complex. This eye-opening new volume presents two of the tale's earliest versions, both in new translations: E.T.A.

  • George Macdonald and E.T.A. Hoffmann
    George MacDonald and E.T.A. Hoffmann Raphael Shaberman he influence of the German Romantic writers of the latter 18th and earlyT 19th centuries on the work of George MacDonald has long been acknowledged, not least by MacDonald himself. The most important of these was Novalis: George MacDonald’s first book was a small collection of translations from Novalis, an interest which MacDonald maintained until the end of his creative life. This reflected MacDonald’s mystical side. However, as to the construction of his fantasies and fairy tales, the influence of Hoffmann was considerable, and it is doubtful whether they would have taken the form they did had it not been for Hoffmann’s example. Though well-known in his own day—and not only in his native Germany—Hoffmann is today remembered for a handful of his tales, the inspirer of the ballets “Nutcracker” and “Coppelia,” and Offenbach’s opera “Tales of Hoffmann.” Thus he remains largely unread, as to his greater output, and unrecognised for the pioneer he was. Indeed he is often mistaken for Heinrich Hoffmann, author of the notorious “Struwwelpeter,” or even for Professor Hoffmann, the conjurer. His achievements in music were many-sided; he was one of the earliest and finest of music critics, he influenced Schumann, who named one of his suites for piano “Kreisleriana” (“Johannes Kreisler” was a pseudonym of Hoffmann). He was also a conductor, teacher, composer, producer of opera, designer and painter of scenery, etc. His opera “Undine” is a nice link with MacDonald, for the story on which it was based was the latter’s favourite fairy tale: the author, Fonqué, was known to Hoffmann.

  • One Story, Three Centuries: Anachronism and Sociopolitical Commentary In
    One Story, Three Centuries: Anachronism and Sociopolitical Commentary in the Graphic Novel Adaptation of Das Fräulein von Scuderi A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the Department of German Studies of the College of Arts and Sciences by Acacia Moraes Diniz B.A. Universidade de São Paulo May 2015 Committee Chair: Tanja Nusser, Ph.D. Abstract The 19th century, more than any other it seems, has provided us a never-ending source for adaptation. From musicals involving Charles Dickens’ orphans and Victor Hugo’s French revolutionaries, to the inexhaustible work on anything ever put on paper by the Brothers Grimm, Western societies seem obsessed with the 1800s. Observing this obsession as a whole, I have come to the following hypothesis: stories written during the 19th century are still influential and draw contemporary audiences because their major themes – in a sociopolitical and historical perspective – have been haunting the Western world since those times. E.T.A. Hoffmann’s novella Das Fräulein von Scuderi is an exemplary case. Adapted numerous times, as an opera, a film and, most recently, a graphic novel, its sociopolitical commentary on justice systems and violent interrogation techniques are as relevant now as they were in the 19th century. Alexandra Kardinar and Volker Schlecht’s graphic novel adaptation emphasizes these aspects of Hoffmann’s novella through the insertion of historical curiosities, documentation on historical figures and, more importantly, the use of anachronistic elements in scenes of the 17th century, which provide the reader with a link between the three centuries involved in this story: 17th, 19th, 21st.

Hoffmann’s literary fairy tales, particularly “Princess Brambilla: A capriccio in the style of Jacques Callot” (1820), focuses on his revisioning of contemporary social discourses on gender. Conventionally, these discourses depicted men as dominating and women as subservient, whereas Hoffmann’s wide range of fairy-tale characters subverts a strict gender differentiation. The authors’ use of a Bakhtinian method to disentangle interdependent narrative strands in this carnivalesque fairy tale reveals its lack of a single patriarchal ideology. By exploring the relationship between “Brambilla”’s unconventional heroine Giacinta-Brambilla, and unheroic hero Giglio-Chiapperi, their argument demonstrates how Giacinta’s dominance facilitates Giglio’s developing self-knowledge. Through examining differing critical interpretations of Hoffmann’s presentation of women, the authors argue that, set against the normative values of his time, “Princess Brambilla” takes a subversive position. In short, Hoffmann’s fairy tales, in their historical context, offered a new way to interpret gender.

  • Text Und Experiment Die Experimentalszene Als Mediale Konfiguration Im Werk E.T.A
    Achim Küpper Achim Küpper Text und Experiment Die Experimentalszene als mediale Konfiguration im Werk E.T.A. Hoffmanns Einblick und Kontextualisierung. – Im literarischen Werk E.T.A. Hoffmanns nimmt das Experiment eine besondere Stellung ein. Wissenschaftliche oder parawissen- schaftliche – auch alchemistische – Experimente kommen in seinem Œuvre an vielen Stellen explizit zur Sprache. In der zweiten Vigilie des bekannten Goldenen Topf, beispielsweise stellt der Registrator Heerbrand den geheimen Archivarius Lindhorst zunächst als einen »experimentierenden Chemiker« vor.1 In dem Mär- chen Klein Zaches genannt Zinnober unternimmt der Professor Mosch Terpin so manch »physikalisches Experiment«.2 In den Gesprächen der Serapions-Brüder ist unter anderem vom »Experiment« des Magnetismus die Rede,3 und in der späten Erzählung Der Elementargeist kommt es noch zu einem sehr ausgiebig beschriebenen »Experiment«.4 Dies sind lediglich vereinzelte Beispiele, die einen ersten Einblick bieten. Das »Experiment« an sich stellt ein rekurrentes Motiv des Gesamtwerks Hoffmanns dar. Wie lässt sich diese Präsenz und Prägnanz des Expe- rimentalmoments kontextualisieren? Wie lässt sie sich begründen? Und zunächst auch: Welche Verbindungen ergeben sich genereller aus dem Zusammenhang von Literatur und Experiment? Mit der Konstellation »Text und Experiment« ist ein Themenfeld bezeichnet, das als Schnittfläche zwischen wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen und literaturhistorischen Fragestellungen heute kein unerforschtes Gebiet darstellt. Zu den Verbindungen zwischen Experiment und literarischer Konfiguration liegt mit dem von Michael Gamper herausgegebenen Band Experiment und Literatur5 sowie der grundlegen- den, dreibändigen literaturgeschichtlichen Buchfolge zu dem Thema6 inzwischen eine imposante Reihe wissenschaftlicher Werke vor. Die genannten Bände stecken Grundlagen ab, liefern Einzelanalysen und geben darüber hinaus Impulse und Anregungen für die weitere Beschäftigung mit dem Gegenstand.
