This book is a comprehensive study of the nineteenth-century German
poet Heinrich Heine. Anthony Phelan examines the complete range of
Heine's work, from the early poetry and 'Pictures of Travel' to the
last poems, including personal polemic and journalism. Phelan
provides original and detailed readings of Heine's major poetry and
throws fresh light on his virtuoso political performances that have
too often been neglected by critics. Through his critical
relationship with Romanticism, Heine confronted the problem of
modernity in startlingly original ways that still speak to the
concerns of post-modern readers. Phelan highlights the importance
of Heine for the critical understanding of modern literature, and
in particular the responses to Heine's work by Adorno, Kraus and
Benjamin. Heine emerges as a figure of immense European
significance, whose writings need to be seen as a major
contribution to the articulation of modernity.
