Poetry and Prose: Heinrich Heine
Gathers lyric poems, satire, and essays about the German countryside and literature, by the nineteenth-century romantic poet.
Heinrich Heine's Contested Identities
Collects papers from an October 1997 conference that took place in Berkeley, California. Papers examine how the Heine's identity was formed, reformed, and revised in relationship to the politics, religion, and nationalism of his era. Several papers focus on his Jewish identity and most touch on his relationship to the politics of his era, offering, not a radically different vision of Heine, but one that recognizes the ambivalences and vacillations, as well as the development and consistency, of his complex identity.

Heinrich Böll and Ireland
Nobel Prize winning author Heinrich Böll’s Irisches Tagebuch (Irish Journal) which was first published in 1957, has been read by millions of German readers and has had an unsurpassed impact on the German image of Ireland. But there is much more to Heinrich Böll’s relationship with Ireland than the Irisches Tagebuch. In this new book, Böll scholar Gisela Holfter carefully charts Heinrich Böll’s personal and literary connections with Ireland and Irish literature from his reading Irish fairytales in early childhood, to establishing a second home on Achill Island and his and his wife Annemarie’s translations of numerous books by Irish authors such as Brendan Behan, J. M. Synge, G. B. Shaw, Flann O’Brien and Tomás O’Crohan. This book also examines the response in Ireland to Böll’s works, notably the controversy that ensued following the broadcast of his film Irland und seine Kinder (Children of Eire) in the 1960s. Heinrich Böll and Ireland offers new insights for students, academics and the general reader alike.
Heinrich Schenker's Conception of Harmony
The first detailed study of Schenker's pathbreaking 1906 treatise, showing how it reflected 2500 years of thinking about harmony and presented a vigorous reaction to Austro-Germanic music theory ca. 1900.
Rosie Heinrich. We Always Need Heroes
We construct our reality by telling stories. When faced with something that is inconsistent with our story, we most often find ways to reframe it, construe it to our convenience, or dismiss it. Yet sometimes events take place that differ so profoundly from our story that the entire thing seems in danger of collapsing. When the banking crisis hit Iceland in 2008, the country fell into a deep recession. Its citizens also found themselves in a ?cultural crash?, as their collective reality turned out to be an illusion. Rosie Heinrich constructs a meta-dialogue containing the building blocks of a story that she combines with a tangible cultural landscape: images of sand, clay, lava, rock, and pigment.
