This historical-critical edition of the works of Ludwig Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) is being published in collaboration with the Weimar Classicism Foundation, and will comprise approximately 40 volumes. A complete critical edition of the poetic, discursive, and epistolary works of this great Romantic and early modern man has hitherto been lacking. It is the objective of this edition to present the complete production of a writer who combined realism, fantastic inventiveness, and symbolic meaning in an incomparable manner, and who was involved in the issues of all areas of his age. An additional aim is to illuminate the context of von Arnim’s life and times. The edition is being offered on a subscription basis until the publication of the final volume.
