This article argues for a new approach to war and politics in Arnim and Brentano's Romantic poetry anthology Des Knaben Wunderhorn. It departs from previous Wunderhorn scholarship by considering the collection's three volumes individually, and paying attention to the different political circumstances of the two phases of its creation, 1805 and 1808. I show that there is a change of emphasis in the collection between volume I (1805) and volumes II and III (1808), identifying a shift away from political engagement and a withdrawal of the nationalist sentiments that are still, however, often associated with the collection as a whole. Instead, I argue that the later volumes of the collection turn inwards and come to reflect a more spiritual and escapist aspect of Romanticism, with a focus on the figure of the artist rather than any political goal. By exploring the change in emphasis between 1805 and 1808, my reading presents the Wunderhorn as a text torn internally between a tangible engagement with everyday politics on the one hand, and a tendency towards transcendence on the other. In this way, the collection represents two opposing impulses of German Romanticism around 1800.

浪漫民族主义还是浪漫退缩？重新评估阿尼姆和布伦塔诺的DES KNABEN WUNDERHORN的政治（1805/1808）

本文为Arnim和Brentano的浪漫主义诗歌选集Des Knaben Wunderhorn提出了一种新的战争和政治方法。它与以前的Wunderhorn背道而驰通过单独考虑收藏品的三册，并注意其创建的两个阶段（1805年和1808年）的不同政治环境来获得奖学金。我表明，第一册（1805年）和第二册之间的藏书重点有所改变以及III（1808），确定了从政治参与的转变和民族主义情绪的撤退，然而，民族主义情绪仍然与整个收藏体系联系在一起。取而代之的是，我认为该系列的后期版本向内倾斜，并反映出浪漫主义的精神和逃避现实，侧重于艺术家的形象而不是任何政治目标。通过探讨1805年至1808年之间重点的变化，我的阅读提出了Wunderhorn作为一种文本，其内部在一方面与日常政治的切实接触与另一方面对超越的倾向之间的内部撕裂。这样，该系列代表了1800年左右德国浪漫主义的两个对立冲动。
