Exiles and Ironists
This study examines the literary and intellectual kinship between Heinrich Heine, who wrote most of his mature work in France, and Jules Laforgue, who wrote most of his poetry and prose in Germany. Both expatriate poets mark the end of literary traditions which they revolutionized: Heine transformed German Romantic, Laforgue French Symbolist poetry; and their innovative voices were to have repercussions far beyond their own times and national traditions. Since Laforgue himself repeatedly paid tribute to his German master, the intertextual link between the poets has become a critical commonplace. And though there are numerous books on Heine's influence on French poets, and though most of Laforgue's commentators mention Heine, there exists to date no documented comparative study on Heine and Laforgue. These essays, a first thorough, comparative examination, address themselves to filling the gap.

Heinrich Heine, Mensch und Dichter zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich
Heinrich Heine kann als Dichter nicht, wie das stets gemacht wurde, einer bestimmten Kategorie zugeordnet werden. Es ist gerade die Unbestimmbarkeit, die paradoxe Gleichzeitigkeit von Widersprüchlichem, die den Kern von Heines Erlebensweise ausmacht. Heine erkennt sich in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem deutschen und französischen Geist, diesen grundlegenden europäischen Gegensätzen, selber als widerspruchsvoll. Im Versuch beide Welten zu vereinen, ohne ihre Eigenart zu verwischen, wächst der Dichter zu einem der bedeutendsten und befähigsten Vermittler zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich.
Tucholsky and France
In his final 'Q-Tagebuch' report to Hedwig Muller dated 19 December 1935 Tucholsky declared: 'Dass ich mein Leben zerhauen habe, weiss ich. Dass ich nicht allein daran schuld bin, weiss ich aber auch. Mein Gott, ware ich in Frankreich geboren...!' Combining biographical investigation with an analysis of Tucholsky's published journalism, this study sets out to assess the significance of the contact with France and French culture in Tucholsky's life and work It shows the extent to which he was influenced by the French cultural and intellectual tradition, and by his first-hand experience of France. It provides new insights into Tucholsky's life in France, notably his involvement with French freemasonry and the importance of his contacts in French literary, pacifist, and political circles. This study also considers the role Tucholsky played, or attempted to play, in improving Franco-German relations, and reveals the extent of his efforts to promote rapprochment, not only in Germany, but also in France, through behind-the-scenes contact with politicians and diplomats, through lectures, and through his published journalism.
