Liebe, Freiheit und Patriotismus im Roman "Cordelia" von Caroline von Wolzogen
Love, Freedom and Patriotism in the Novel Cordelia by Caroline Von Wolzogen

Summary/Abstract: The following paper examines the most important motifs in the last novel Cordelia by Caroline von Wolzogen. She was one of the first German women’s writers, Schillers sister-in-law, known mostly by her first novel Agnes von Lilien and Schiller’s Biography. Von Wolzogen’s last novel has so far hardly been investigated. It shows Wolzogen as an idealist and patriot (Napoleon’s time, Liberation wars) who has remained faithful to the ideals of Weimar Classicism, especially the ideas of Schiller (“beautiful soul”) and Wilhelm von Humboldt.
