Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797–1848)

Droste-Hülshoff, Annette Elisabeth von, Baroness. A German poet (1797–1848); born at Hülshoff near Münster. Her poetry is comprised in a volume of ‘Poems’ (1838), with two posthumous volumes: ‘The Church Year, with an Appendix of Religious Poems’ (1852), and ‘Last Gifts’ (1860). Her simple devoutness is specially marked in the fragments ‘A Nobleman of Lusatia’ and ‘A Country Priest’s Ways.’ She excelled also as a novelist.
