| biography:
| Poet, born in Frankfurt (am Main), WC Germany. Perhaps the leading female representative of the early Romantic period, she was the daughter of Maximiliane La Roche, sister of Clemens Brentano, and married Achim von Arnim in 1811. She is known for her correspondence with figures such as Goethe, her own brother, and Karoline von Günderode. Although based on fact, this was recast in literary form through her lively imagination. |
