"Horacker" to Matthias Claudius to Death and the Maiden

Raabe's Horacker is a bit larded with allusions, but there are pretty good Notes and this can lead to some pretty interestings "connections."

Example: Horacker mentions the Wandsbecker Bote and includes this Note:

113. A newspaper published by the poet Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815), which served as an organ for his pious and somewhat sentimental view of the world.
