That review is by a woman. Just sayin.

Hesse's prose is indeed quite similar to the Romantics, for instance how Siddharta starts:
In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the
boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree
is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young
falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman.
But he tones it down quite a bit. Novalis is literally hysteric, shamefur dispray.
