Müller’s poetic cycle Die Winterreise and Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise bring together two themes – the winter season and the experience of travel – that both appear in earlier literature and song. This chapter explores European and especially German precursors to Winterreise, focusing on the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
