Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from National Unity in the German Novel Before 1870
In his youth William Hauff had been an enthusiastic mem ber of the student corps and a few of his patriotic songs were heard at the Wartburg Festival. In common with his student friends he too was an advocate of national unity and like them had no definite plan for its attainment. In Lichtenstein the first serious attempt to produce a historical novel after the model of Scott, he scarcely touches that matter at all. The worthy old Lichtenstein complains to the Chancellor that he is treating the land like a piece of leather.13 Any fool can cut it to pieces, but who in the wide world can put it together again.
