Undine
In 'Undine,' Friedrich Heinrich Karl Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué crafts a seminal work of Romantic literature, blending elements of folklore with the emergent gothic sensibility of his time. Through the eponymous character, a water nymph yearning for a human soul, Fouqué explores themes of love, betrayal, and the supernatural.

Ghosts and Robbers
At the start of the nineteenth century, German "Schauerliteratur" was so popular as to permanently associate that land with the Gothic and the ghostly.

The present anthology, the first of its kind in a decade, collects together examples of these tales from many of the great masters of the genre, including Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué, Johann Karl August Musäus, Louisa Drachmann, and Heinrich Clauren. Featuring bandits, cursed knights, tragic spectres, witch cults, diabolical bargains and the thirsting dead, the pieces in this volume mark the point at which the Gothic novels of the eighteenth century met the psychological intensity of Romanticism in the birth of the modern horror story.

Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends (Musaus, Wilhelm Hauff, Bechstein, Brentano) Telling T...
