1823^ⓘFirst published in Popular Tales and Romances of the Northern Nations, Vol. 1, ed. Anon., London: Simpkin, Marshall, 1823. It was published uncredited next to a story by Johann Ludwig Tieck, so at some point afterward bibliographers started mistakenly saying that Popular Tales miscredited it to Tieck. Charles M. Collins is probably the first to publish it under that byline, in 1967.	English	Wake Not the Dead [as by Johann Ludwig Tieck (in error)]
