| Abstract | Whilst E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) is most widely known as the author of fantastic tales, he was also prolific as a music critic, productive as a composer, and active as a conductor. This book examines Hoffmann's aesthetic thought within the broader context of the history of ideas of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, and explores the relationship between his musical aesthetics and compositional practice. The author also addresses broader issues pertaining to the ideological and historical significance of Hoffmann's musical and literary oeuvre. |
