Description

During the last 25 years of his life, Heinrich Heine lived in Paris for the most part, and there he contributed to the Revue de Deux Mondes a series of prose articles on the religious and political history of Germany, a subject in which he had a deep and lasting interest. Those articles, collected here, cover the period from the Middle Ages to Hegel.

Reviews

"This panegyric on Germany, this manifesto against Germany, represents—if one may employ the superlative—the most apt, most original, most witty, and still not outmoded interpretation of the history of German ideas. " — Ludwig Marcuse
