	Ida Hahn-Hahn is one of the most important German female authors of the 19th century. She can also serve as an example for the ambiguous position of a woman writer: Her writing was praised as a model for female writing as well as criticised for promoting 'female egotism' (e.g. in [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/authors/show/75 Fanny Lewald]'s satirical novel about Hahn-Hahn, [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/works/show/382 ''Diogena'']).

	After having become a very successful author, Hahn-Hahn decided to convert to Catholicism in 1849. This decision was taken under the guidance of the later archbishop of Mainz, Wilhelm Emanuel von Ketteler, and was possibly motivated by Bystram's death in the same year. The conversion, described by Hahn-Hahn in [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/works/show/55 ''Von Babylon nach Jerusalem''] ("From Babylon to Jerusalem", 1851), produced a religious turn in her literary work which can therefore be divided into two phases: the first one of the very fashionable and mundane author, popular for her travelogues and emancipated novels, as well as for her early poetry, and the second phase when her writing was clearly influenced by her religious awakening and consisted of prose novels inspired by her new faith, religious autobiographical writing and other genres like hagiography and the history of religion.
