Assignment: 31 March 2009


Please consider the Wackenroder text, “A Wondrous Oriental Tale of a Naked Saint.”
  • What is the relationship between music and poetic language? Is the power evoked by music also accessible to language? Or does language merely point to music?
  • Also, consider how Wackenroder’s story is a fairy tale. What elements are fairy-tale-like? And what makes it, more specifically, a Kunstmärchen?
