[A]n excellent, scrupulously annotated, complete (for the first
time) translation of Ludwig Börne.... Heine declares that prose
writers who aren't at the same time poets will lack rhythm and
grace. And Börne, he stresses, was no poet.
*.*
... [The book] is widely considered to be his best-written work....
Ludwig Börne is an interesting work.... [I]t has served as a
template in German literary feuding.
*TLS*
[...] This excellent book can be recommended to students not only
of literature but also of history, and the feuds around Heine may
invite comparison with Marx's exile polemics and with the difficult
relations between Thomas Mann and his fellow exiles.
