Poems and Ballads of Heinrich Heine
Published by New York: R. Worthington, 1881
Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Bound in modern buckram cloth. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Library stamps and markings. Contents: Heinrich Heine; Early Poems; Homeward Bound; Songs to Seraphine; The North Sea. Emma Lazarus was born in New York City to a wealthy family and educated by private tutors. She began writing and translating poetry as a teenager and was publishing translations of German poems by the 1860s. Her father privately printed her first work in 1866 and the next year, her first collection, Poems and Translations (1867), appeared from a commercial press. The book gained the attention of Ralph Waldo Emerson, among others. Over the next decade, Lazarus published a second volume of poetry, Admetus and Other Poems (1871); the novel Alide: An Episode in Goethe's Life (1874); and a play in verse, The Spagnoletto (1876). Reading George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda, with its exploration of Jewish identity, stirred Lazarus to consider her own heritage. In the 1880s, she took up the cause, through both poetry and prose, against the persecution of Jews in Russia, publishing a polemical pamphlet The Century (1882) and Songs of a Semite: The Dance to Death and Other Poems (1882), one of the first literary works to explore the struggles of Jewish Americans. Lazarus was one of the first successful and highly visible Jewish American authors. She advocated for Jewish refugees and argued for the creation of a Jewish homeland before the concept of Zionism was in wide circulation. Heinrich Heine was a German poet whose international literary reputation and influence were established by the Buch der Lieder (1827; The Book of Songs), frequently set to music, though the more somber poems of his last years are also highly regarded.
