Answers
Explanation:
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff began work on The Jew’s Beech Tree in 1837 and completed it in 1841. It was based on a true incident that had occurred in the latter half of the previous century. She had heard of the story from her grandfather, who had been a magistrate assigned to the case. She also used an 1818 newspaper account of the murder—written by her uncle, August von Haxthausen—as a basis for her tale. The case involved a Christian man who had murdered a Jew and had left the country before he could be brought to trial. Captured by the then-invading Turkish army, he had spent twenty-five years in slavery. When he escaped, he returned home. Because of the hardship he had already endured, he was not prosecuted for his crime, but his conscience drove him to commit suicide, and he hanged himself from the tree where the original murder had taken place. This strange story of guilt and justice preoccupied Droste-Hülshoff, and she set out to write a fictional account of the events. The novella went through several revised versions and was first serialized in the spring of 1842 in a literary magazine, Morgenblatt für gebildete Leser.
