Excerpt from Die Drei Freier

Levin schucking was born on the 6th of September, 1814, at the castle of Clemenswerth in Westphalia, where his father was land-steward to the Duke of Aremberg. His mother, a woman of superior culture, began at an early age to display and practice her undoubted literary talent. While yet quite young She had access to the pietistic set that gathered around the Princess Gallitzin, the Christian Aspasia, at Munster; but in a measure she had also been drawn into other, more turbid, currents of the then prevailing Storm and Stress.

A great and beneficial influence was wrought upon young Schucking by the distinguished poetess Annette von droste-hulshofi,1 in whom he found a mother-like protect ress when in 1830 he was sent from home to attend the Gymnasium at Munster. But the cordial relations maintained for many years between the baroness and her protégé suffered an irreparable breach in the early forties, when Schucking, through his manifestly liberal views, incurred the displeasure of the highly conservative noblewoman.
