| Summary | "Neue Novellen" by Elise Polko is a collection of novellas written in the mid-19th century. The text begins by setting a stage in a historical context, with characters such as Professor Gottsched, his wife Victoria Adelgunde, and budding playwrights like Ephraim Lessing and Christian Felix Weiße. The overarching themes seem to revolve around social dynamics, the struggles of a woman in a male-dominated intellectual sphere, and the intricate relationships between art, love, and ambition. The opening of the novella introduces a gathering at the home of Victoria Adelgunde, where scholars and aspiring artists convene to present their works. Through the interactions among the characters, we see the underlying tensions in Victoria's life as she navigates her role as a professor's wife and her yearning for recognition in a literary world that often overlooks her. Notably, there is a focus on her feelings towards the young student Lessing, hinting at a deeper connection that might challenge the conventions of her marriage. As the evening unfolds, the lines between admiration, love, and societal expectations blur, leaving readers with a sense of intrigue about the relationships that will develop as the narrative continues.
