None of Wieland's poems was more enthusiastically celebrated by his contemporaries than his verse poem Oberon, a work situated between the worlds of romance and the classical epic.

The present volume presents the Oberon poem exactly as it first appeared more than 230 years ago. In addition, the volume includes contemporary essays, dialogues, translations, poems, and critical reviews by Wieland.
