englischFranz von Gaudy (1800–1840) was a late romantic and realistic writer in the Vormärz period. He wrote prose – novellas, stories, travel accounts – and poems, ballads and romances, had a distinctly satirical vein and was, because of his trained sense for languages, an excellent translator from French and Polish. Well-regarded and much read in the literary Germany of his own day, he is today, unjustly, largely forgotten, although traces of his reception can be found in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Arno Schmidt 2020 is a double anniversary for the poet Franz von Gaudy – 220 years since his birth and 180 since his death – and is also the year in which Gaudy will return to view in the literary world with the first volume of a multipart edition of his selected works. This contains the novellas and stories written during his journeys to Italy in 1835 and 1838-39, and as a critical study edition, provides for the first time a reliable text based on the first printed editions in modernised spelling, and a biographical and cultural description based on the latest sources and research.
