Editing Nostalgia (section)

===Romanticism===
Swiss nostalgia was linked to the singing of [[Kuhreihen]], which were forbidden to Swiss mercenaries because they led to ''nostalgia'' to the point of desertion, illness or death. The 1767 ''Dictionnaire de Musique'' by [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]] claims that Swiss mercenaries were threatened with severe punishment to prevent them from singing their Swiss songs. It became somewhat of a ''topos'' in Romantic literature, and figures in the poem ''Der Schweizer'' by [[Achim von Arnim]] (1805) and in [[Clemens Brentano]]'s ''Des Knaben Wunderhorn'' (1809), as well as in the opera ''Le Chalet'', by [[Adolphe Charles Adam]] (1834), which was performed for [[Queen Victoria]] under the title ''The Swiss Cottage''. The Romantic connection of ''nostalgia'' was a significant factor in the enthusiasm for Switzerland and the development of early [[tourism in Switzerland]] that took hold of the European cultural elite in the 19th century. German Romanticism coined an opposite to ''Heimweh'', ''Fernweh'' "far-sickness", "longing to be far away", like ''[[wanderlust]]'' expressing the Romantic desire to travel and explore.
