The Neue Zeitung für Einsiedler (Magazine of the International Arnim Society) is an interdisciplinary journal that offers new perspectives on prominent works of German Romanticism. By presenting previously unknown sources and texts, the journal also provides an important contribution to Romantic scholarship. In addition to literary articles and miscellaneous pieces, the Neue Zeitung für Einsiedler contains reports on Arnim sites, exhibitions, and book reviews. In the current issue, Hans Dierkes examines Arnim's literary portrayal of the Christian preacher in the context of his theological aesthetics. Irmgard Knechtges-Obrecht locates Robert Schumann's Gesänge der Frühe op. 133 in the biographical network of relationships with Bettina, her daughter Gisela, Clara Schumann, Hölderlin, and Beethoven. Olaf Müller suspects that Arnim's dispute with Johann Wilhelm Ritter raises the question of the primacy in the discovery of ultraviolet rays. Markus Schwering considers how Eichendorff, Tieck, and E.T.A. Hoffmann give literary form to the longing for Italy without the benefit of personal experience. Jack Zipes traces the development of the literary fairy tale as a genre and points out that this narrative form "appropriated" many motifs, themes, and characters from folklore and combined them with elements from other literary genres.This year's issue offers two noteworthy pieces of documentation under the heading "History of editions of Achim von Arnim's works": Roger Paulin discusses the editions by Max Morris (1806), Monty Jacobs (1808), and Reinhold Steig (1894-1913), and Lothar Ehrlich provides an overview of the planned 40-volume Weimarer-Arnim-Edition.
In his chronicle of the young Brentano, Heinz Härtl uses letters, poems, and contemporary testimonies to provide an insight into the family and life of this extraordinary member of a widely ramified clan. In a miscellany, Hans Dierkes draws attention to the Arnim collection in the Josef Körner estate (Bonn University and State Library) with Körner's copy of a lost letter from Arnim to Wilhelm Dorow dated November 25, 1809. Dezsö Gurka presents the newly discovered funeral oration on the death of Julie von Charpentier, Friedrich von Hardenberg's (Novalis') second fiancée, and provides new aspects for interpreting the motifs in Heinrich von Ofterdingen by reconstructing the Freiberg mineralogical network.
Petra Heymach and Annette Rupp report on Schloss Wiepersdorf, while Clemens Franke and Mathias Gebauer point out the current events in Zernikow. Katja Kaluga describes the exhibition "'Die Natur will, dass Kinder Kinder sind...' - Kindheit im Wandel [...]" at the Freies Deutsches Hochstift and Barbara Steingießer reports on the special exhibition of Günther Uecker's Lichtbogen and the two benefit concerts for Ukraine by Ukrainian composer and piano virtuoso Vadim Neselovskyi in the Goethe-Museum in Düsseldorf. In her review of Heinz Härtl's four-volume edition of the correspondence of the young Bettina, Roswitha Burwick praises the edition as a significant academic achievement.
The volume concludes with three obituaries: Stefan Nienhaus, Heinz Rölleke, and Frederick Burwick, the Arnim bibliography 2020-2022, the lists of the volumes of the Weimar Arnim Edition and the publications of the International Arnim Society, and the minutes of the general meeting of the International Arnim Society in Düsseldorf in 2023.
