Inhaltsangabe

From a close study of his biography and his philosophical work, it is clear that Novalis' literary output is the result of a long process of work on himself, which one must call his 'way'. John OMeara traces the process of Novalis philosophical self-development meticulously, finishing up with an in-depth analysis of his "Hymns to the Night", the "Spiritual Songs", and his main and unfinished novel, "Henry von Ofterdingen". Emphasis is on the process by which Novalis' literary works manifest as direct expressions of his philosophical explorations, which bear fruit, eventually, in visions of sweeping majesty and annunciatory grandeur.
