Ebook: Briefe: Band 5 1812 - Juni 1815

The letters from 1812 to mid 1815 document a period of historical upheaval (the wars of liberation and the spread of nationalist thought in Germany) as well as incisive changes in the life of Therese Huber and her family (the failure of Luise's marriage to Emil von Herder and the collapse of Therese Huber's value system and self-image). She wrote articles for Cotta's »Morgenblatt für gebildete Stände« and gained increasing public acclaim as an author. Other topics are reading matter, the death of Therese's father Christian Gottlob Heyne, and plans for an educational institute.
