About Annette von Droste-Hülshoff
- Anna Elisabeth Franziska Adolphine Wilhelmine Louise Maria, Freiin von Droste zu Hülshoff, known as Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (German: [a'n?t? f?n 'd??st?'h?lsh?f] (listen); 10 or 12 January 1797 – 24 May 1848), was a 19th-century German writer and composer.
- She was one of the most important German poets and author of the novella Die Judenbuche. In an article for the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, Francis Joste wrote, "The fame of the poetess rests chiefly on her lyric poems, her pastorales, and her ballads.
- In the poetic representation of nature, few can equal her.
- The poetical works of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff are imperishable.
- What makes them so is their originality, the proof that they are the works of a genius.
- It is this too that gained for their author the well-earned title of "Germany's greatest poetess.'"
