The reception of Cherubinischer Wandersmann (The Cherubinic pilgrim) of Angelus Silesius in the German Romanticism: Rahel and Karl August Varnhagen von Ense The article discusses the reception of The Cherubinic Pilgrim in the German Romantic movement, in particular that of Rahel and Karl August Varnhagen. The signs of that reception can be found in their published correspondence, diary, and commentary notes. The focus lies on one of the most popular sa lonnières in Germany, Rahel Varnhagen, also known as Rahel Levin or Rahel Robert. The knowledge about the work of Silesius is probably the fruit of the reception of Friedrich Schlegel, who spreads the Baroque poetry among his acquaintances. However, Rahel’s answer to the mystic work is different from the one of Schlegel. While he openly publishes his thoughts on that matter and refers to the catholic topics, she seems to read and reflect on the poetry until her death in 1833. She leaves her comments under the selected epigrams of Silesius, later published by her husband, which exhibit a personal and fragmentary character of the reception, revealing a free treatment of the texts, fondness of the poetic skill of the author, intertextual connections to other works of literature, sometimes distant or polemical thoughts on theological and philosophical topics, which were relevant for the Romantic movement.
