Obtaining only meagre allowances, he had frequent recourse to his friends, constantly borrowing money and still going hungry for days at a time; he learned that his daughter had died. Nevertheless, he managed to compose his Six Canticles for a cappella choir: On 1 September he arrived with his wife in Bamberg , where he began a job as theatre manager. Hoffmann was unable to improve standards of performance, and his efforts caused intrigues against him which resulted in him losing his job to Cuno.
He began work as music critic for the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung , a newspaper in Leipzig , and his articles on Beethoven were especially well received, and highly regarded by the composer himself. It was in its pages that the " Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler " character made his first appearance. Hoffmann's breakthrough came in , with the publication of Ritter Gluck , a story about a man who meets, or believes he has met, the composer Christoph Willibald Gluck —87 more than twenty years after the latter's death.
With this publication, Hoffmann began to use the pseudonym E. Hoffmann, telling people that the "A" stood for Amadeus , in homage to the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — However, he continued to use Wilhelm in official documents throughout his life, and the initials E. The next year, he was employed at the Bamberg Theatre as stagehand, decorator, and playwright, while also giving private music lessons.
He became so enamored of a young singing student, Julia Marc, that his feelings were obvious whenever they were together, and Julia's mother quickly found her a more suitable match. When Joseph Seconda offered Hoffmann a position as musical director for his opera company then performing in Dresden , he accepted, leaving on 21 April Prussia had declared war against France on 16 March during the War of the Sixth Coalition , and their journey was fraught with difficulties.
They arrived on the 25th, only to find that Seconda was in Leipzig; on the 26th, they sent a letter pleading for temporary funds. That same day Hoffmann was surprised to meet Hippel, whom he had not seen for nine years. The situation deteriorated, and in early May Hoffmann tried in vain to find transport to Leipzig. On 8 May, the bridges were destroyed, and his family were marooned in the city. During the day, Hoffmann would roam, watching the fighting with curiosity. Finally, on 20 May, they left for Leipzig, only to be involved in an accident which killed one of the passengers in their coach and injured his wife.
They arrived on 23 May, and Hoffmann started work with Seconda's orchestra, which he found to be of the best quality. On 4 June an armistice began, which allowed the company to return to Dresden. But on 22 August, after the end of the armistice, the family was forced to relocate from their pleasant house in the suburbs into the town, and during the next few days the Battle of Dresden raged. The city was bombarded; many people were killed by bombs directly in front of him.
After the main battle was over, he visited the gory battlefield. His account can be found in Vision auf dem Schlachtfeld bei Dresden. After a long period of continued disturbance, the town surrendered on 11 November, and on 9 December the company travelled to Leipzig. On 25 February Hoffmann quarrelled with Seconda, and the next day he was given notice of twelve weeks.
When asked to accompany them on their journey to Dresden in April, he refused, and they left without him. But during July his friend Hippel visited, and soon he found himself being guided back into his old career as a jurist. At the end of September , in the wake of Napoleon's defeat, Hoffmann returned to Berlin and succeeded in regaining a job at the Kammergericht , the chamber court.
His opera Undine was performed by the Berlin Theatre. Its successful run came to an end only after a fire on the night of the 25th performance. Magazines clamoured for his contributions, and after a while his standards started to decline. Nevertheless, many masterpieces date from this time.

Alcohol abuse and syphilis eventually caused weakening of his limbs during , and paralysis from the beginning of His last works were dictated to his wife or to a secretary.

Gerontologie - Einfuhrung Und Geschichte (German, Paperback)
King Frederick William III of Prussia appointed an Immediate Commission for the investigation of political dissidence; when he found its observance of the rule of law too frustrating, he established a Ministerial Commission to interfere with its processes. The latter was greatly influenced by Commissioner Kamptz.
During the trial of "Turnvater" Jahn , the founder of the gymnastics association movement, Hoffmann found himself annoying Kamptz, and became a political target. These ended when Hoffmann's illness was found to be life-threatening. The King asked for a reprimand only, but no action was ever taken. Eventually Meister Floh was published with the offending passages removed. Hoffmann died of syphilis in Berlin on 25 June at the age of Hoffmann is one of the best-known representatives of German Romanticism , and a pioneer of the fantasy genre, with a taste for the macabre combined with realism that influenced such authors as Edgar Allan Poe — , Nikolai Gogol [8] [9] — , Charles Dickens — , Charles Baudelaire — , George MacDonald — , [10] Fyodor Dostoevsky — , Vernon Lee , [11] Franz Kafka — and Alfred Hitchcock — The twentieth-century Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin characterised Hoffmann's works as Menippea , essentially satirical and self-parodying in form, thus including him in a tradition that includes Cervantes , Diderot and Voltaire.
Hoffmann also influenced 19th-century musical opinion directly through his music criticism.
E. T. A. Hoffmann
His reviews of Beethoven 's Symphony No. Schriften zur Musik; Nachlese and have been made available in an English translation in E. Hoffmann strove for artistic polymathy. He created far more in his works than mere political commentary achieved through satire. His masterpiece novel Lebensansichten des Katers Murr The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr , — deals with such issues as the aesthetic status of true artistry and the modes of self-transcendence that accompany any genuine endeavour to create.
Hoffmann's portrayal of the character Kreisler a genius musician is wittily counterpointed with the character of the tomcat Murr — a virtuoso illustration of artistic pretentiousness that many of Hoffmann's contemporaries found offensive and subversive of Romantic ideals. Hoffmann's literature indicates the failings of many so-called artists to differentiate between the superficial and the authentic aspects of such Romantic ideals.
The self-conscious effort to impress must, according to Hoffmann, be divorced from the self-aware effort to create. This essential duality in Kater Murr is conveyed structurally through a discursive 'splicing together' of two biographical narratives. While disagreeing with E. Bleiler 's claim that Hoffman was "one of the two or three greatest writers of fantasy", Algis Budrys of Galaxy Science Fiction said that he "did lay down the groundwork for some of our most enduring themes". Historian Martin Willis argues that Hoffmann's impact on science fiction has been overlooked, saying "his work reveals a writer dynamically involved in the important scientific debates of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Hoffmann's work makes a considerable contribution to our understanding of the emergence of scientific knowledge in the early years of the nineteenth century and to the conflict between science and magic, centred mainly on the 'truths' available to the advocates of either practice.
