Abstract
Although until recently overlooked by both the Danish and German literary canons, the Danish-German poet, travelogue-writer, and salon-hostess Friederike Brun (1765–1835) was an important figure in the continental romantic movement. Known for her cosmopolitan stance and travel writing, Brun also engaged in a gendered critique of German idealist philosophy, as exemplified by her autobiography's revision of Schiller's theory of aesthetic education.
