Obermann (novel)

Obermann has been translated into English three times: in its entirety by A. E. Waite (1903) and J. Anthony Barnes (1910), and in selections by Jessie Peabody Frothingham (1901).

In music and poetry

Between 1848 and 1854, Franz Liszt composed Vallée d'Obermann, one of the pieces for piano of the suite Première année: Suisse, from the œuvre Années de pèlerinage, inspired by Senancour's most famous novel.[1]

Senancour and Obermann are immortalized for English readers in two poems by Matthew Arnold entitled "Stanzas in Memory of the Author of Obermann" (1849) and "Obermann Once More" (1867); Obermann is also mentioned in Arnold's "Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse."[2]
