Written in the early 20th century, the book endeavors to define, classify, and analyze various aspects of Weltschmerz, contrasting it with general pessimism. The author focuses on three influential German poets—Hölderlin, Lenau, and Heine—each representing different dimensions of this melancholic sentiment and contributing to an understanding of its literary significance.   The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Weltschmerz, describing it as an emotional response to the inherent suffering and evils of existence. Braun distinguishes clearly between Weltschmerz and pessimism, clarifying that the former is a more poetic and emotional state linked to heightened sensitivity and expressive of personal and universal sorrow. He proposes to investigate the selected poets through detailed analyses of their lives and writings, intending to illustrate how each poet embodies distinct types of Weltschmerz—ranging from Hölderlin's idealism to Heine's satiric perspective—and reflects broader psychological and societal conditions of their times.
