Query: Good for starters, good for keepers

I have an obession with this moment in cultural history. Unfortunately, I do not speak German, so a lot of the goodies I crave can be hard to come by... As for this little book, the Kleist stories are pretty available, and Hoffmann isn't too too difficult to find, although I, for one, hadn't read these particular stories. It was the Tieck that attracted me to this book, and boy, they are goodies. Anyway, if you are curious about this sort of lore, this is a great place to start, it's diverse and still gives you a general idea of what these kooks were up to. The intro is helpful for the uninitiated, as well. And for advanced players, you get Tieck, who is rarely translated into English for those of us who are too lazy to learn German. If you like moody-gloom 19th Century cheeze, you'll love this stuff, trust me.
