Not illustrated. 1899 Excerpt: ... reflexive for the idiomatic passive or construction with man (414, 612, 1575) is evidently due to French influence. A highly poetic effect is often obtained by using a transitive or reflexive verb intransitively (1024, 1695, 1833).1 With all its excrescences, Kleist's style remains that of a master; rarely has any German author attained such vigorous and perfectly adequate.expression, such a combination of incisive brevity with genuine eloquence and poetic beauty as Kleist has given us in this drama.

After the death of Queen Louise (July 19, 1810) Kleist sought a new patroness to whom he might dedicate his work in Princess William of Prussia, who could be expected to take a special interest in it, as she belonged to the house of Hessen-Homburg; but the martinet and unimaginative officers in her circle were offended by the scene of Homburg's humiliation (III. 5) and the drama found no favor. Kleist's efforts to find a publisher for his work were also doomed to failure; two undated notes have been preserved in which he begs Beimer, who had brought out 1 That the peculiarities here noted are characteristic, not accidental, is conclusively proved by the evidence of Kleist's other writings.
