What is Shelley's German Afterlives: 1814-2000 (Nineteenth-Century Major Lives and Letters) about?

Winner of the 2008 Helene Richter Award! Shelley's German Afterlives traces the German reception of P.B. Shelley over a time-span of nearly 200 years, considering material as diverse as anthologies, journals, biographies, poetic imitations, translations. If German readers of the 1830s and 1840s were initially fascinated by Shelley's life and death, interest in the lyrical and the political Shelley set in soon, too. "Men of England" became the model for one of the most popular German working class poems by Herwegh. In the context of the fin de si?cle and of expressionism, Shelley's Faustian characters—Cenci and Prometheus—received acclaim.
