[edit] Added note about Emil Sinclair

This information was taken from a 1972 Panther reprint of Hesse's 'Demian', where the translator notes that Hesse "so much admired...the poet Novalis", and explains that Emil Sinclair (the pseudonym used by Hesse on the initial publication of the novel) was Novalis' friend. --Euchrid9 15:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On the road to a GA

I've updated the format to the improved standard book article layout. I did not discard any existing information, this format should be easier to add too. I love the book and hope that this was appreciated. ; )

If anyone is around I could use some help with this, I'm currently just doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that in my spare time. --Taken By Robots 13:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Themes, motifs, symbols

I added a very important one, the book's treatment of duality. It's been a while since I've read this novel and I don't have a scholarly review on hand, but I think both the plot summary and the "themes" section contain some misconceptions or look at the material from a superficial point of view and miss some of its key elements. This should be carefully gone over by someone with a scholarly level of knowledge on this novel. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 08:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral POV

Someone needs to rewrite this into more of an encyclopedia entry and less of a language arts class lesson plan. It's good, but not appropriate for Wikipedia. 97.73.64.149 (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Factual error

Hesse says in foreword that he wrote the book in three months, not three weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.195.10 (talk) 02:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
