That's the fella! I think this is the first time I've given any thought to Heinrich von Kleist since I studied 19th century German drama at university. I believe another Kleist work, Die Marquise von O, was made into a film. Pentheselia got tangled up with Achiiles, in case anybody was wondering.

Doh! I was just about to send this in, and I'm an AA virgin! But was the Prince of Homburg a landgrave's son? Couldn'the first be Käthchen von Heilbronn (opera by Pfitzner), with a count as hero rather than a prince??Originally posted by vinteuil View PostComment

Welcome, JFLL
Not at all, we don't bother about that. We're all so senile here that we can't remember what happened yesterday, let alone 10,000 posts ago. I can't even get the letters of the alphabet in the right order today...I'll have to go through 16,000+ posts to see whether something's been done before.
