"Leonora" is a celebrated ballad by Gottfried August BÃ1/4rger, presented here in an English translation by W.R. Spencer. This epic poem, originally written in German, tells a dramatic story of love, loss, and the supernatural. Set against a backdrop of war and despair, "Leonora" follows the journey of a young woman whose fiancÃ(c) fails to return from battle. Her relentless questioning of fate leads her down a dark path with haunting consequences. Spencer's translation captures the original's emotional intensity and gothic atmosphere, making it accessible to English readers. BÃ1/4rgerâ(TM)s work is a significant example of the Sturm und Drang movement and continues to resonate with readers interested in classic European poetry and the enduring themes of romance and the macabre.
