| Wedekind’s musical talents can perhaps be inferred from his studies: “as a schoolboy he learned the guitar and the flute and, later, the violin, piano and mandolin” (Jarman 13). |
| WedekindÂ’s imprisonment had spurned an outcry from the German intelligentsia, and this brought him notoriety and spurned his success as a dramatist. |
| In contrast, Wedekind was increasingly vilified by the political, religious, and literary establishment. |
