Wilhelm Alfred Braun appears to be a writer who focused on German literature. Here's what I found about him:
- Author: There is a book titled "Types of Weltschmerz in German Poetry" by Wilhelm Alfred Braun. Weltschmerz is a German word that roughly translates to "world-weariness" or a feeling of melancholy about the human condition. This suggests Braun's interest in German literature analysis. You can find the book on Project Gutenberg [Project Gutenberg, Wilhelm Alfred Braun: Types of Weltschmerz in German Poetry].
- Possible academic: There's also a record of a Columbia University dissertation by Wilhelm Alfred Braun from 1905 with the same title "Types of Weltschmerz in German Poetry". This suggests Braun might have been an academic who studied German literature.
