About the author

Wilhelm Alfred Braun

b. 1873

A literary scholar of the early 20th century, this writer is best known for a close, thoughtful study of Weltschmerz—the mood of melancholy and world-weariness—in German poetry. His work offers a clear window into how poets like Hölderlin, Lenau, and Heine gave that feeling artistic shape.
