 Introduction to E.T.A Hoffmann
Hoffmann was part of the German Romantic period with his fantastic fairy tales and historical stories, and at the same time transcended Romanticism with his realistic, psychological depictions of highly gifted and artistic, yet tormented souls.
Hoffmann himself represents the double aspect of the bourgeois citizen and the anti-establishment bohemian artist which led to him being praised and at the same time misunderstood and condemned by contemporaries and future generations alike.
Whilst Hoffmann's complete works have been translated many times in France and proved strongly influential on French writers, particularly in the 1830s and 1840s, Hoffmann is only known in extracts in the English speaking world.

An ironist and humorist par excellence, the prolific storyteller E. Hoffmann occupies a prominent place in the canon of nineteenth-century European literature.
Sophisticated as well as entertaining, Hoffmann's fiction is quintessentially Romantic in thematic orientation, milieu, aesthetic and philosophical outlook, and narrative stance— and yet it also strikes contemporary readers as astonishingly modern.
At the height of his writing career, Hoffmann was a best-selling author in Germany, and soon after his premature death at age forty-six he became known on the Continent through translation as the author of "weird" and fantastic tales—particularly in France and Russia, but also in England.
