"My songs will live on, / When I have long departed, / Many will tremble before them, / Who felt like I did," wrote the self-assured 23-year-old Annette von Droste-Hülshoff in 1820, who had not yet published a single line. Her first collection of poems was released in 1838 by Aschendorff in Münster but received little attention. This changed briefly in 1841 with the publication of "Die Judenbuche" and in 1844 with her first major poetry collection at Cotta in Stuttgart. The modest success did not bother her; she was aware of her worth. She preferred to look back on her "blasé times and her circumstances," stating, "I do not wish to be famous now, but I would like to be read in a hundred years." By the turn of the century, Droste was considered one of Germany's most significant authors. This volume, by the renowned Droste scholar Winfried Woesler, a university professor in Osnabrück and long-time chairman of the Droste Society in Münster, gathers a dozen selected contributions. His intensive engagement with Droste's texts reveals surprisingly modern insights and encourages readers to learn more about and read the poetess.
