[T]he "Spirit of Heidelberg", a melange of myths that circle around the university, the castle, the River Neckar and German Romanticism, isn't enough to explain this attraction. For centuries the Ruprechts-Karls-Universität, Heidelberg University's official name, has enjoyed international acclaim as a center of excellent research and teaching. And as early as 1926 the university offered its first summer school for German Language and Culture. It has turned out to be a continued success. Every year more than 600 people come to Heidelberg from all over the world to participate in the course.

Praise for Walter Benjamin and Romanticism:"From beginning to end Walter Benjamin engages in an intimate debate with the origin and legacy of German romanticism. This is the first volume in any language that has given this dense and difficult topic its due and will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complex shape of Benjamin's thought."

Novalis is one of the towering figures of German Romanticism. The Novices of Sais, translated from the German into French in 1925, received enthusiastic recognition by artists and poets alike and is often quoted by the surrealists. The text is a lyrical meld of Romantic emotion combined with a profound fascination with nature. In 1949, the novel was translated into English by Ralph Manheim and accompanied by 60 original drawings by Paul Klee. Novalis and Klee create a harmonious universe of their own. As Stephen Spender puts it in his introduction: "a world of pure art and pure contemplation, of imagist poems, and an intense, glowing yet humorous and meticulous imagination."

Composer, conductor and violinist, the German Louis Spohr was with Weber and Mendelssohn one of the major figures of early Romanticism. Clearly, music to be played "out of doors", these two brilliant works for strings and woodwinds have an irresistable pastoral charm. The Berlin Octet is simply glorious. Superb sound engineering.
