Studying Heine's approach to myth and mythology can help to further
ongoing discussion of the problem 'myth and modernity'. Heine's
concern is with the view of the world describable as 'mythic
thinking'. Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) himself was inspired to some
extent by the 'new mythology' of early Romanticism and he also took
an active part in the revaluation of popular lore identifiable in
late-Romantic 'German mythology'. But Heine's brand of mythic
thinking is bound up with resistance to any attempt to capitalise
on it for political purposes and to this end to restore it as a
(Teutonic) blueprint for society as a whole. It is this resistance
that determines the form of Heine's treatment of myth and mythology
and the changes it underwent. Heine presents no trace of a
reconciliation between myth and modernity but both the otherness
and the vitality of myth are very much alive in his work.
