1913. With an introduction by Havelock Ellis. Varnhagen lived
during the crucial period of assimilation in Germany, when it
seemed imperative for Jews to escape their Jewishness. From the
Preface: The following pages are not a study in literary history;
no search has been made for new authorities, and no stress is laid
on literal accuracy in the case of the sources that have been used.
Such a work was within neither the aim nor the compass of this
book. My aim has been to give a portrait of the greatest woman the
Jewish race has produced; to my mind also the greatest woman
Germany can call her daughter. Contents: Origin; Personality; Love;
Religion; Fellow-feeling; Social Life; Goethe; Sense of Beauty; and
Letters.
