NOVALIS (Georg Philipp Friedrich von Hardenberg, 1772-1801) was perhaps the greatest of the poets of German Romanticism. The author of Hymns to the Night, he died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. As the great 20th-century theologian Karl Barth observed, "We shall only be able to speak of a true Neo-romanticism for all time when Romanticism is once again seriously taken up in the sense that Novalis understood it, and in his spirit."
