The paper is an attempt to answer the question concerning the extent to which letters written by Rahel Varnhagen von Ense, one of the most important representatives of the women's epistola- ry literature of German Romanticism, touches upon women issues. The analysis of the psychologi- cal and social contexts of women's situation is a crucial motif in the correspondence of the said authoress. In her letters to David Veit, Rebecca Friedlander, and her sister Rose, one can notice harsh criticism of the limited opportunities for the girls from Jewish families as well as of the institution of marriage in its traditional form based on the wife's absolute submission to her husband. As a result, a woman would lose a large part of her personality and freedom. Rahel never changed her opinion on marriage, although her married life with August Varnhagen was an example of an ideal partnership. In her letters, Rahel also deals with the problem of equal rights for women in the fields of art and science. For example, the authoress mustered the courage to voice severe criticism on women writers such as Karoline Schlegel-Schelling and Dorothea Tieck, who would publish their works under male pen names. In her writings, Rahel Varnhagen points out to an extremely hard situation of the well-educated women and demands more personal freedom for them. According to her, this very freedom is a significant factor for women and men to become equal.

Born in Szczecin, Robert Eduard Prutz (1816-1872) enjoyed considerable pop-ularity as a creator of the pre-March period poetry, as a journalist working for HallischeJahrbücher, one of influential publications of that time, and as a literary historian and expert on the history of journalism. Prutz’s life and work coincided with the society’s great dissatisfaction with the ossified absolutist system; literature in the 19th century constituted an important means of communication linking the text, the reader, and the historical context. In the poems and plays completed before the March revolution, the writer aimed at shaping the readers’ awareness, especially in terms of bringing down the feudal system. In this article Prutz’s selected works are used to demonstrate the ways in which he was able to address specific political events and the extent to which a given piece of literature could be treated as political writing. More specifically, several poems and the novel titled Das Engelchen, that refer to specific political events which occurred between the Congress of Vienna and the March Revolution, are analysed.
