Freedom of mind and self-feeling Huber, Therese, daughter of Chr. G. Heyne, widow of George Forster and Ludwig Ferd. Huber, important writer, editor of the Cottasche "Morning leaf for educated stalls" (1764-1829). Eigh. Letter m. U. "Therese Huber geb. Hey. 2 pp., closely described. Double page with address. 4to. Stuttgart 6.VIII.1819. To the publisher Engelmann in Heidelberg, editor of the paperback "Cornelia". Extensive, interesting letter in which Therese Huber complains in detail about the poor treatment of one of her stories, which was printed in the paperback "Cornelia". First of all, thank you for the change received, "by which my request to Ew. Well-born for the story. 'The Ugly' is satisfied in the paperback Cornelia 1820. Your procedure in the little story I have received, I must completely rebuke. This story was not yet printed, not yet paid, so still my ownthumb and it came to me to make changes in it. I find that by a whimsical about a situation of my narrative a never before read by me the Mad. Schoppenhauer is very similar and out of respect for her and the audience, to whom I am knowingly not supposed to copy, I change this situation immediately; I send you this amendment, I receive from you the message that this change has come into your hands, and you have the first handwriting printed without informing me! - Jezt you say that You had already ordered a copper engraving to do so - I make you notice that I had specifically told you that I did not see ambitionire to see copper engravings made to my narrative. A little thing like my poetry is not worth a fuss; only since I am once called in front of the audience and therefore the audience has the right to judge me, you wronged me to have this little story printed with a stain that can draw the blame, yes, the mockery of the public on them ... Your pocketbook is offended like my pride, because you have taken up a contribution that will be accused of plagiarism ...". However, she would continue to make contributions, but she solemnly renounced copper engravings and any coercion from both sides. "... The Cornelia deserves only sowings which bear witness to freedom of mind and self-feeling - no matter how small they are - and where I expect mine to be - so they are to the feminine sense: truth and mildness, memorized ...". - Beautiful example of an author's intelligence, freedom of thought and self consciousness at the beginning of a century, in which women writers quickly enter the book market. - And the same thing. Eigh. Poem manuscript. 2/3 p. 8vo. O. O. and J. - "Please of an Icelandic child who the parents want to cast out." - With the headline 13 lines: "Let me go to my mother! / I freeze on the ground! / Let me in father's arms! / Where shall a boy stand better? ...".
