** Novalis' Lehrlinge zu Sais
------------------------------------------------------------

Novalis drafted The Novices at Sais between 1798 and 1799. He planned to reconceive it as a “truly symbolic novel of nature” in 1800, but left the work incomplete on his death, leaving us a rich series of questions to explore.
Joan Steigerwald will lead a half-day workshop that will delve into these questions to see what answers can be found in Novalis' unfinished work.
