Synopsis
Excerpt from Heine's Prose: With Introduction and Notes
The purpose of this volume is to make more accessible to advanced students of German the models of style which are contained abundantly in Heine's prose works. The guid ing principle in the selection of passages for the present edition has been to group together extracts that might be truly representative, and at the same time in their variety might illustrate the versatility of the author's genius. In thus attempting to represent fairly all the best of Heine's autobiographical, critical, and descriptive prose works, it was difficult to keep within the space-limit desirable for a text-book. This restriction will explain to admirers of the poet, the omission, which is much to be regretted, of many favorite passages found in the large mass of Heine's prose writings.
