Literature Series #1 Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorf
In this episode, I go through German Romanticsm in the way of Joseph von Eichendorf. I use two texts, Mondnacht and Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts. Nature is a constant motif and it is interesting to see how that shows up in the writings of Eichendorf.
Here is the link (https://archive.org/details/lifeofgoodfornot00eichuoft/page/76/mode/2up) to the https://archive.org/details/lifeofgoodfornot00eichuoft/page/76/mode/2up

Mental health, literature and of life lately...
Welcome, listeners!
In the latest episode of Gidspeaks, I had the pleasure of delving into a fascinating discussion with Lea Bachmann, a doctoral student specializing in Transcultural German Studies. Together, we explored themes of depression and suicide as portrayed in young adult and children's literature. Throughout our conversation, we uncovered intriguing trends and parallels in how mental health is depicted across different cultural landscapes.
We also examined how these literary representations intersect with real-life experiences and the implications they hold for our daily lives. Lea provided valuable insights into her own research and its practical applications, shedding light on the broader significance of studying such topics in literature.
If you're curious to learn more about our discussion or have any comments or questions, don't hesitate to connect with me on Instagram @gideonkipt00.
Tune in to the podcast for an engaging exploration of mental health in literature, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did :)
