A new illustrated edition of the poems of Wilhelm M#65533;ller (published in 1824) which inspired Franz Schubert to his best known song cycle, Die Winterreise, composed in 1827. A vigorous literal translation of M#65533;ller's poems is accompanied by a set of delicate drawings in watercolour inspired by travels through the winter landscape of Lower Austria and reflecting the high romantic mood of the original early nineteenth century compositions.
