Heute nochmal den Brief von Arno #Schmidt vom 22.05.1950 an Hermann #Hesse gelesen, in dem Schmidt auf dessen (recht wohlwollende!) Kritik antwortet und in wenigen Sätzen das Werk Hesses abfertigt.
Einfach herrlich, ein großer Spaß.
Schmidt über Hesse: "Ein begabter Dichter; reich und faltig."

Zeitlose Eleganz der Oberburg in Burg-Gräfenrode im Wetteraukreis / Hessen
After the Charles XII’s death in 1719, as many as 159 Swedish soldiers and sailors were transferred to Hesse-Kassel. They were quartered and supplied at the expenses of the landgrave, but resident Brunell had to communicate between the two parts. Moreover, he had to figure out a plan how to bring these soldiers and sailors back to #Sweden as soon as possible. And, last but not least, he had to negotiate with the landgrave on support for his daughter-in-law, the new queen of Sweden.
This example sheds light not only on the very poorly researched connection between military issues and #emdiplomacy as well as how #emdiplomats sometimes were forced to solve exceptional situations. (4/5)

Brunell’s stationing in Hesse-Kassel coincided with the last years of the #GreatNorthernWar. After the Swedish territories in the north of the #HRE had been occupied by #Sweden’s enemies in 1715, a huge number of Swedish soldiers and sailors who either lost contact with their units or were escaped prisoners of war, came to Hessen-Kassel to seek help from the Swedish #resident there and the landgrave, the father-in-law to the Swedish king’s sister, to find a way back to #Sweden or at least Swedish territory. During a five years’ time, the Swedish residents in Hesse-Kassel and especially Brunell were occupied with organising how these people should be handled. Brunell negotiated with the landgrave about passports, money, and provisions. (3/5)
