Excerpt from Heine in Art and Letters: Translated, With a Prefatory Note
Of the several papers collected in this volume, the earliest dates back to 1822, and is the first important prose essay published by Heinrich Heine: the most recent bears the date 1846, and so was written by him ten years before his death. Between these dates is comprised the whole of Heine's active career; for although, even before 1846, he had endured severe bodily suffering, it was not till subsequently that he became the confirmed invalid "nailed to his mattress grave."
The Selections are drawn from his prose writings exclusively. They represent Heine in very distinctive mental phases, and thus afford diverse as well as always interesting glimpses of his complex personality.
I have divided the book into two sections, each arranged chronologically. These comprise selections from Heine's brilliant Letters on Art and Music, and from that part of his correspondence which is occupied with political topics and events in the France of his day.
