Here are three contrasting works from Theodor Storm's middle
period--the 1870s. The title story is an affectionate portrayal of
the vanishing world of the marionette theatre with its
guild-dominated society of the traveling puppeteers and their
gypsy-like way of life. "The Village on the Moor" is seen through
an investigating lawyer's eyes, and is the case of a mysterious
death out on the moor, the chief suspect being a girl of sinister
aura with whom the young deceased was in love. Both these stories
are translated into English for the first time. One of Storm's most
moving stories, "Renate," records the memories of an
eighteenth-century Lutheran pastor and his love for a farmer's
daughter who is persecuted by the local community for alleged
witchcraft. Denis Jackson also translated Storm's The Dykemaster.
