Reviews

'The book usefully draws together most of the current thinking on Hoffmann... Chantler's strength lies on the level of detailed textual exegesis with reference to Romantic literary theory and philosophy. Here she is commendably thorough.' Music and Letters 'Taken as a whole, Chantler's book probes the reaches of Hoffmann's literary and musical compositions as they pursue poetic ideals while attempting to synthesize the old and new in his artfully-ordered, ironic chaos.' Notes
