Reviews
"Fifty years after that 1828 edition, a leading specialist in literature of the German Enlightenment, Hermann Hettner, supported Tieck's efforts to rejuvenate Palisades Island. Calling the novel one of the most and important works of its age, Hettner finds that it contains both a 'longing for originality and nature' and a 'cry for freedom' worthy of Friedrich Schiller. He goes on to declare that Palisades Island is 'Rousseau before Rousseau'."
