Graf von Loeben and the Legend of Lorelei From "Modern Philology" vol. 13 (1915)

"Graf von Loeben and the Legend of Lorelei" by Allen Wilson Porterfield is a study that looks into the life and literary works of Graf von Loeben, a German poet who time has mostly forgotten. The account shows that he was a busy writer of poetry and prose, and it aims to understand why he's not as famous as other writers from his time, even though he knew important people like Goethe and Eichendorff. The study also talks about the story of the Lorelei, explaining where it came from and how Loeben added to the story. It also touches upon the dynamic between Loeben, Brentano, and Heine and their impact on Lorelei's narrative when examining his place in literary history.
