Summary
This chapter explores the psychological significance of Die Winterreise from two directions. Examining the birth of psychology as an academic field, particularly in Germany, David Romand finds only limited connection to Die Winterreise, while Lisa Feurzeig finds many links to Müller’s cycle in more popular, less academic pursuits of the time.
