Abstract

This chapter begins by exploring Heinrich Heine's more general approach to history and his dual critique of academic historians and of the philosophy of history before turning to several specific episodes in his contemporary historical writings. The first deals with his juxtaposition of significantly different modes of journalism and history writing and his placement of these modes into varying relations of before and after. Heine's critical take on historical portraiture was a second side to his engagement with serial forms. The chapter then looks at Heine's serial history writing in Französische Zustände (Conditions in France) (1833) and Lutezia (1854). He set apart his own historical character description from other modes of history writing through ironic mirroring and mimicry, a kind of anti-portraiture. The chapter also considers the French and German prefaces to the book publication of Lutezia, examining how these retrospective texts address the question of literary afterlives.
