Heine_, by C. L. Leimbach, WolfenbUettel, 1879. The last
six of these works were not accessible, but, since they are quoted
by the accessible studies, it seems that they offer nothing
new. (The writer has since secured Leimbach's treatise of 50 small
pages. It offers nothing new.)
[100] Adolf Seybert in his _Die Loreleisage_, Wiesbaden, 1863 and
1872 (Programm), contends that Frau Holla and the Lorelei are
related. Fritz Strich in his _Die Mythologie in der deutschen
Literatur von Klopstock bis Wagner_, Halle, 1910, says
(pp. 307-9) that Brentano's ballad is "eine mythologische
Erfindung Brentanos, zu der ihn der echoreiche Felsen dieses
Namens bei Bacharach anregte." He also says: "Ob nicht Heines Lied
auf Brentanos Phantasie zurUeckgewirkt haben mag?" The reference is
to Brentano's _MAerchen_. Strich's book contains a detailed
account of the use of mythology in Heine, Loeben, and Brentano.
[101] Hermann Seeliger says (p. 8): "Ich meine, die ganze romantische
Schule hAette ohne den Stoff vom Volke zu bekommen, ein Gedicht von
solcher SchOenheit wie das von Brentano weder gemacht noch machen
kOennen.
