Steinkamp addresses the main issues concerning the dating of the work -- many commentators have deemed Clara to be a sketch for Schelling's The Ages of the World or an outline for the third, missing book of that work -- and provides a short biography of Schelling with particular emphasis on events claimed to play a role in the conception of Clara, such as the deaths of both Caroline and her daughter, Auguste.

Summary
This is the first English translation of Schelling's novel, most likely written after the death of his first wife, Caroline, the former wife of August Wilhelm Schlegel.
