“Yes! Truly speak’st thou Tieck. -truly Elizabeth / Falsely the story looks. Yet no! both mingled / The truth and falsehood.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Journal 1833–1834." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (4); Box 5 (83).

Inferred Fuller invokes Tieck alongside a character named ‘Elizabeth’ in a verse meditation. -truly Elizabeth / Falsely the story looks’ suggests Fuller is paraphrasing or alluding to a specific dramatic passage, most probably Genoveva. Fuller names Tieck explicitly and pairs his name with ‘Elizabeth’ (a character).

The most likely identification is Tieck’s tragedy Leben und Tod der heiligen Genoveva (Jena: Frommann, 1800), which contains an ‘Else/Elizabeth’ figure, and which Fuller is known to have engaged with as part of her German Romantic reading.
