1810–1811

Beschreibung

The main concerns in Therese Huber's (1764-1829) letters from this period are her situation as a writer of increasing renown and her problems in finding a publisher and a post as governess. The letters also give us Therese Huber's views on education methods (e.g. Pestalozzi), Catholicism (her daughter Luise converted to Catholicism in this period), politics (Napoleon, the Munich academic dispute, German nationals movement), and economic issues. She further reports on her travels to Munich, Stuttgart, and Switzerland. Her correspondence with Emil von Herder on books they had read was designed to give the unemployed and suicidally inclined young man support and encouragement.
