The Roßtrapp Story: a Hymn to the Past in the Future
Abstract
Ludwig Tieck wrote Das Märchen vom Roßtrapp. Der Gesang eines Minnesängers like the majority of his work with the backing of his former teacher Friedrich Eberhard Rambach. This paper sets out to show that this generally neglected work, in which the author makes a thinly-veiled critique of the political and social situation at the time, already shows clear features of Early Romanticism, particularly in its reference to a lost but still yearned for Golden age and in its discontent with a utilitarian and corrupt world.
