– Background –

Ricarda Huch was a German intellectual who was born on July 18, 1864, and died on November 17, 1947. She was a historian and author of numerous European history books, poems, novels, and a play. Huch's contribution to contemporary cultural discourse in Germany was established by the first volume of her two-volume study on German Romanticism, Blütezeit der Romantik, which was published in 1899. Huch was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times. Her meticulous research was admired by her contemporaries, but she was criticized for relying on poetic imagination. Her character studies of individuals, including ordinary people, rather than big events, military campaigns, and great men, challenged the traditional interpretation of history. Huch also wrote on Gottfried Keller, Italian unification, Albrecht von Wallenstein, and Martin Luther's faith. After Hitler's seizure of power in 1933, Ricarda Huch refused to make a loyalty declaration to the Nazi government, as demanded by members of the Prussian Academy of Arts. However, she was highly respected in Italy and enjoyed the protection of the Nazi Reich Minister of Justice, Franz Gürtner. After World War II, she collected material on the German resistance, but was only able to partially process it before her death.
