E.T.A. Hoffmann, a lawyer and bureaucrat by profession, is most
readily recognized as the author of the fairy tale The Nutuacker,
which was adapted by Tchaikovsky for his ballet. Hoffmann was also
the author of more than three dozen stories, seven fairy tales, and
two novels, as well as numerous critical essays on music. In E.T.A.
Hoffman, James M. McGlathery provides a complete account of
Hoffmann's literary works, including deft summaries of the short
stories and thorough explications of the fairy tales and novels.
McGlathery's biographical treatment of Hoffmann illuminates how the
Napoleonic wars shaped the author's career and subsequent literary
development. McGlathery traces other important influences on the
developing writer: Hoffmann's acquaintance with several prominent
physicians sparked his interest in the emerging field of
psychiatric medicine and inspired the psychological elements of his
writing. Hoffmann's music criticism is also given due attention and
is examined against his fiction. His works reflect the Romantic era
in Germany and are early examples of an interest in the
subconscious in literature.
