“…Mirabeau, the ambivalent, unpre dictable "Zwitterwesen", with his advocacy of freedom and the 'wirksame Saillies' of his oratory, as Heine describes them, also features in ›Shach von Wuthenow‹. 24 ) Here Fontane creates novelistic dialogue and characterisation out of a network of references to Mirabeau's view of Prussia and to the similar fates of Mirabeau and Victoire, both scarred by smallpox. Consoled and liberated from conventional thinking by Mirabeau's writings, she wants to call herself "Victoire Mirabelle von Carayon", a name that feeds into earlier discussions about beauty, morality, history and politics, from which the events of the novel flow.…”

While Theodor Fontane reacts to Heine's writings sympathetically but not uncritically, the American William Dean Howells responds to the German poet with empathic enthusiasm. Both writers, however, acquire an insight into the contradictions in Heine's romanticism and share his conviction that no subject is unpoetic. This insight offers aesthetic strategies that manifest themselves in the Realistic novel.Während Theodor Fontane die Dichtung Heines aufgeschlossen aber nicht unkritisch aufnimmt, begegnet der Amerikaner William Dean Howells dem deutschen Dichter mit empathischer Begeisterung. Doch gewinnen beide Autoren eine Einsicht in die Widersprüche in Heines Romantik und teilen seine Überzeugung, dass es kein unpoetisches Thema gebe. Diese Einsicht eröffnet ästhetische Strategien, die im realistischen Roman zum Ausdruck kommen.Howells realises that he could not have chosen a better master, for Heine's simple German is the perfect medium for learning the language:The German of Heine, when once you are in the joke of his capricious genius, is very simple, and in his poetry it is simple from the first, so that he was, perhaps the best author I could have fallen in with if I wanted to go fast rather than far. I found this out later, when I attempted other German authors without the glitter of his wit or the lambent glow of his fancy to light me on my hard way. 13 )

“…Although the outbreak spread less quickly than the initial epidemic in 1832, by the end of the epidemic in 1849 over 15,000 people had died, 1.5 percent of the total population. Among the most vivid descriptions of the 1832 epidemic is that of German writer Heinrich Heine (1872). He describes the epidemic left the city in a quiet state of despair, with increased security measures and sanitary committees.…”
