    About this ebook

    "Types of Weltschmerz in German Poetry" is an analysis of the works by Goethe, Hoelderlin, and Lenau on the subject of weltschmerz. Weltschmerz is a term coined by the German author Jean Paul in 1827. It denotes the feeling that physical reality can never satisfy the demands of the mind and stands for an apathetic or pessimistic view of life, depression concerning or discomfort with the human condition or state of the world.
