Poems by Heinrich Heine
Heinrich Heine was born in 1979 and died in 1856. Alongside Goethe, he remains Germany's most popular poet - partly on account of the numerous muslcal settings of his early verse. He was in his time an outspoken and controversial figure , not only for introducing irony and wit into lyric poetry but also for his radical politics. This book takes a representative selection from all phases of Heine's playful and remarkably diverse poetry, ranging from the early love lyrics through the political verse to the final bitter poems of terminal illness.Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 - 17 February 1856) was one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century. He was also a journalist, essayist, and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose is distinguished by its satirical wit and irony. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities. Heine spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.
