Manfred: Ein dramatisches Gedicht. Ein Horror Klassiker der englischen Romantik

Set against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps, this dramatic poem unfolds in three acts, showcasing themes of isolation and existential struggle. Inspired by Lord Byron's own experiences in the region, it reflects the Gothic tradition and stands as a significant contribution to Romantic literature. Notably, it shares a literary kinship with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, influencing later writers like Edgar Allan Poe and leaving a lasting impact on cinematic storytelling through its vivid imagery.
