About Heinrich Heine

  • Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (German: ['ha?n??ç 'ha?n?]; 13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a German poet, writer 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 are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony.
  • He is considered part of the Young Germany movement.
  • His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities—which, however, only added to his fame.
  • He spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.
