0. Preface
Some twenty years ago, I got interested
in Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), the
romantic poet in the middle of Goethe's
era, and started to collect material for
dramatic treatment or a film script. These
plans never resulted, only this
biographical sketch survived as a by-product
of this engagement. I adapted it
for an internet audience, for whom
it will have some merit, I hope.
