Even today, Mörike (1804-1875) is still not accorded the attention he deserves, not least because of the difficulty of relating him to the major tendencies of the 19th century. He is not an intellectual like Heine. He did not intervene in the major political debates of his time. We find little trace in his works of economic or social upheavals. He did not rebel against the dominance of the great German classics. He has nothing of the iconoclast about him. In his works apparently insignificant things attain significance. They are incorporated into the process of aesthetic reflection and set off against concrete features of his life-world. Accordingly, 'aesthetics' and 'sociability' are mutually productive, the one being a reflection of the other. Nach wie vor findet Mörike (1804-1875) nicht die Aufmerksamkeit, die ihm eigentlich zukäme - wohl auch, weil er sich nicht leicht den großen Tendenzen des 19. Jahrhunderts zuordnen läßt: Er ist kein Intellektueller wie Heine. Er mischt sich nicht in die großen politischen Debatten ein. Er thematisiert nicht die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Umwälzungen. Er begehrt nicht gegen die Dominanz der deutschen Klassik auf; er ist kein Denkmalstürzer. Das Nebensächliche bekommt bei ihm besondere Bedeutung; es wird in einen ästhetischen Reflexionsprozeß hineingezogen, der mit lebensweltlichen Konkretisierungen einhergeht, so daß sich "Ästhetik" und "Geselligkeit" gegenseitig hervorbringen und spiegeln.

When one thinks of German artist-novels and 'Bildungsromane,' works long available in translation come to mind-by Goethe, Novalis, Hoffmann, Stifter, Keller, or more recently by Mann, Kafka, Musil, or Grass. Yet Eduard Mörike's provocatively subtitled 'Maler Nolten: Novelle in zwei Teilen' (Nolten the Painter: A Novella in Two Parts, 1832) has remained neglected and misunderstood, and until now has never been translated into English, despite its obvious ties to other artist-novels and its striking modernity in playing with conventions of narrative authority and heroic identity. Witness the subtle irony of the opening sequence, in which the narrator is subverted by hints at his own clumsiness and intimations about the dire truths that lurk behind the protagonist Nolten's relationships to his male friends and to the seductive yet somehow frightening women in his life. Or the interplay between the narrator's attempts to make sense of Nolten's complex inner motivations in his loves and art and the ludicrously pompous pathos with which Nolten persists in speaking and thinking, as he concocts a heroic persona caught up in passion, intrigue, and tragedy. Fascinating too is the mysterious trail of the 'Grenzgänger,' or border-line characters, with their hints at the dimension of 'Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves' that seems to threaten and at the same time to foster the complex unfolding of the realities of life and art that defy Nolten's all-too-artful 'mastery.'
