The Politics of the Unpolitical: German Writers and the Problem of Power, 1770-1871
Craig, Gordon A. (J.E. Wallace Sterling Professor of Humanities, Emeritus, J.E. Wallace Sterling Professor of Humanities, Emeritus, Stanford University)
In this book, Craig deals with a question that has always been a point of controversy: do political writers have responsibility and are they obliged to show political engagement in their work? Craig answers this question by studying ten German writers from 1770-1871, among them Goethe, Schiller, Klein, and Heine and finds that these `unpolitical' writers were actively engaged in their politics.
