Letter from Maria Janitschek to Paul Heyse

This letter by Maria Janitschek (1859-1927) contains a thank you to the poet and Nobel Prize winner in literature Paul Heyse (1830-1914, Heyse Archive V.105) and a reference to Janitschek's most recent Albigensian novel Esclarmonde: "When I wrote my little book, nothing was further from my mind than writing a historical novel. I love the twelfth and thirteenth centuries so much and I am particularly interested in that movement in them both which belongs more to the field of religious history than to that of poetry."
