Wien (Vienna): Verlag von Carl Gerold. 1850. Binding: contemporary marbled, title in gilt on label on flat spine., Notes: Christian Friedrich Hebbel (1813–1863), was a German poet and dramatist. Long before this Hebbel had become famous, German sovereigns bestowed decorations upon him; in foreign capitals he was feted as the greatest of living German dramatists. From the grand-duke of Saxe-Weimar he received a flattering invitation to take up his residence at Weimar, where several of his plays were first performed.
All his dramatic productions exhibit skill in characterization, great glow of passion, and a true feeling for dramatic situation; but their poetic effect is frequently marred by extravagances which border on the grotesque, and by the introduction of incidents the unpleasant character of which is not sufficiently relieved.

, Size: 8vo., , Illustration: Text in German. , Provenance: Ex-Libris of Siegfried Joachimson on the upper board. , Category: Book Literature; Book Europe Germany;. In very good condition.
