An account of one of the leading poets of early (pre-World War I)
German 20th century literature. This is a biography and a critical
study, which also works as an introduction to the early modern
German literary scene, in particular the literary life and letters
of pre-1914 Berlin. Heym is recognized as one of the great European
big-city poets, in the tradition of Baudelaire. Over 40 of his
poems are quoted in full in the book, in their German original with
accompanying English prose translations, put in context and
discussed. Heym was in many ways an ideal representative type of
German literary Expressionism: a rebel against his authoritarian
and conservative family and background.
