The German Romantics were fascinated by the Orient and its
potential to inspire poetic creation. E.T.A. Hoffmann was no
exception: across the wide range of his work as an author,
composer, and music critic, the Orient is a persistent topic. In
particular, Hoffmann creatively absorbed the influence of the
imagined Orient - its popular European reception - on German
literature, music, and scholarship. Joanna Neilly's study considers
for the first time the breadth and nuance of Hoffmann's particular
brand of orientalism, examining the significance of his oriental
characters and themes for a new understanding of nineteenth-century
cultural production. A self-reflexive writer who kept a keen eye on
contemporary trends, Hoffmann is at the forefront of discussions
about cultural transfer and its implications for the modern artist.
