Gertrud is a 1910 novel by Hermann Hesse.
Like many of Hesse's novels, there is a strong influence derived from Nietszche, specifically his work The Birth of Tragedy. Heinrich represents the passionate Dionysian elements of art, while Gertrude represents the more refined Apollonian elements. The fact that Kuhn's opera is the result of their relationship suggests the combining of the two elements to form a work of high art.
