The volume contains Achim von Arnim's (1781-1831) writings during the period of his school and university education, between 1791 and 1800. With a few exceptions the texts are previously unpublished. They range from prescribed exercises and copied extracts to independently formulated essays and speeches on social, historical, philosophical and criminal law themes, partly with fictional or autobiographical content. The volume offers insight into Arnim's educational development, formatively influenced by the Late Enlightenment in Berlin, and documents both his interest in science and his inclination towards art.

The second volume of the Weimarer Arnim-Edition contains all of Arnim's published essays on natural science. With his summaries and theoretical essays on electricity, magnetism, and galvanism he concentrated on the significant contemporary discoveries. He commands a truly encyclopaedic mastery of the scientific knowledge of his times. Together with Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, and Alexander von Humboldt, Arnim had by 1800 established himself as a fully recognized member of the scientific community.

Ludwig Achim von Arnim's adaptation of the medieval saga of the female pope Johanna is typically romantic in the way it combines epic, lyrical, and dramatic elements. This is the first edition of the work to provide an authentic version based on the manuscripts. The work itself caused a considerable stir amongst contemporary authors, with Jacob Grimm even comparing it to Goethe's »Faust«. It is certainly one of the most original and substantial creations by Arnim or any other German romantic writer.

The volume is an annotated collection of the extant and reconstructed letters written (107) and received (94) by Arnim in his school and university years up to the beginning of his educative travels. A substantial number of the texts are published here for the first time. The letters and notes are not only of interest for the information they give us about Ludwig Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) himself. His major correspondents ranged from natural scientists working in various disciplines and playing a pioneering role in scientific innovations taking place around 1800 to friends at school and university and relatives belonging to the higher echelons of the Prussian state in an age of thoroughgoing reform.

The volume contains Arnim's correspondence during his educational journey (1802-1804) and comprises 117 letters from his own hand (that have either come down to us or can be reconstructed) and 89 letters addressed to him, all provided here with detailed notes. A substantial portion of the edited texts is printed here either for the first time or for the first time in full (29 by Arnim and 28 to him). Arnim corresponded with members of his family and with acquaintances he made during the journey, among them some very striking women (Madame de Staël, Bettina Brentano, etc.). Most of the letters stem from the early exchange with Arnim's friend Clemens Brentano. This correspondence during the travel years was destined to become one of the most extraordinary examples of its kind in the whole history of German literature. Its significance rests largely in the magnificently unconventional nature of the letters, which rank as an unrivaled testimony to the phase of German Romanticism between the decline of the Jena period and the emergence of the Heidelberg period, a testimony that has yet to be fully appreciated for its originality. The letters are mainly literary in character, not merely because they contain poems, but above all in the way they reflect the idea of 'universal poetry' prominent in the aesthetics of early German Romanticism.
