Ludwig Achim (or Joachim) von Arnim (January 26, 1781 – January 21, 1831), was a German poet and novelist born in Berlin, known in France for his Contes Bizarres, translated by Théophile Gautier.
Biography
He studied natural science at Halle and his bent was from the first towards literature. From the earlier writings of Goethe and Herder he learned to appreciate the beauties of German traditional legends and folk songs; and, forming a collection of these, published the result (1806-), in collaboration with Clemens Brentano under the title Des Knaben Wunderhorn. He married Brentano's sister Bettina, who won wide recognition as a writer in her own right, and his daughter Gisela became a writer as well.
He is also known for the verse narrative Die Päpstin Johanna (Pope Johanna, 1813, prose version published posthumously, 1848).
