Summary

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.

The Politics of the Unpolitical Reviews

Gordon Craig is a liberal historian of the old school, and an exceptional one ... few will read this book and not sense the presence of a historian who offers a rare combination of learning and belief in the moral value of his subject. * David Blackbourn, London Review of Books *
