Author Description
Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann, better known by his pen name E. T. A. Hoffmann (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann), was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's famous opera
The Tales of Hoffmann
, in which Hoffman appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
, on which the famous ballet
The Nutcracker
is based. The ballet
Coppélia
is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's
Kreisleriana
is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.
Hoffmann's stories were very influential during the 19th century, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.
