About this book

Three poets stand for three kinds of Weltschmerz in this study by Wilhelm Alfred Braun, a Columbia University scholar: Hölderlin the idealist, Lenau the poet of its deeply pathetic side, and Heine its satirist. Braun first separates Weltschmerz from pessimism, then classifies its origins and forms of expression and touches on mental illness and the social and political conditions of the time. The essay, with a note by Calvin Thomas dated 1905, was reprinted in 1966, and a bibliography ends it.
