‘Wise’ laugth as an educative measure. Ricarda Huch’s novella Teufeleien
Abstract
The article is an attempt to present the most important features of Ricarda Huch’s writing found in the early stage of her literary creativity. From the methodological point of view, the basis for the research are the author’s biography and her inveteracy in the history of early German Romanticism. According to the early romantics, and particularly Novalis, Huch aspired to achieve a kind of synthesis between historical facts and the way of perceiving reality by a writing artist, who, while thinking about his contemporaries, is guided by the ped-agogical idea whose primary goal is to observe the principles of humanitarianism in the society.
