This extraordinary fusion of novel  fairy tale  and poem  published posthumously in 1802  is the most representative work of early German Romanticism. It reflects  in part  events in the life of its author  who is best known for his Hymns to the Night. Young Henry  a medieval poet who seeks the mysterious Blue Flower with the lovely face of the yet unknown Mathilda  sets out on a journey that is interspersed with beautiful tales and exquisite songs. Henrys \"education \" as he catches first glimpses of the world  is of special interest to students of philosophy as well as literature  for ingeniously involved in literary form is the crux of Fichtes mysticism. Novalis  like Rouseeau  makes an interesting contribution to the \"supreme realism\" that transcends the ordinary. Henry von Ofterdingen is an important landmark in the history of literature and the most distinguished work of its brilliant and tragic author.
