Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914) |
|||
|
Morgenstern is an atypical figure in German literature. As
a rule, German culture is not too fond of the nonsensical.
However, Morgenstern's poetry, which was inspired by English
nonsense rhymes, is immensely popular. 'The Gallows Songs'
('Galgenlieder') and 'Palmström' feature some of his
masterpieces. Later, he turned away from the nonsensical and started to
concern himself with philosophical topics. |
