Novalis English Translation Discussion

It is one of the great yet rarely understood modern misfortunes of the English Language that the majority of Novalis's ideas have not been translated. We native speakers of English, or just non-German speakers should be able to decide for ourselves what is and is not interesting in the body of work Novalis left behind. This is one attempt to do this.

The following is some computer translation of some sections found on the web. Our thanks go to the people who first put this in html format.

The encyclopedia 5 --NATURE APPRENTICESHIP OR OF THE LIVING

The encyclopedia 6 -- THE PHILOLOGISCHEN SCIENCES

Sophie, or over the women

Treatise of the light

Notes at the edge of the life

Of the Secret World

As translators allow, we will put better translations on this page. If you plan on making contributions, please wait until you have the majority of your submissions ready before you submit to cut-down on the webmaster's maintenance.
