In the glittering, treacherous Venice of the fourteenth century, an aged Doge weds a beautiful young bride - and courts catastrophe. The Doge and the Dogaressa is E. T. A. Hoffmann at his most richly atmospheric.

First published in 1818 as part of the celebrated collection The Serapion Brethren, this tragic romance was inspired by a painting glimpsed at an exhibition, and unfolds amid conspiracy, forbidden love, and the doomed splendour of the Venetian republic. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), born in Königsberg, East Prussia, was a jurist, composer, and one of the defining voices of German Romanticism.
