Heinrich Heine's literary representations of women and interactions with women vividly demonstrate his own feminine position as a multi-marginal German-Jewish writer of the nineteenth century. Heine, like many Jews of that era, internalized the European cultural stereotype of the Jew as "woman", that is, as essentially inferior and marginal. His feminine position underscored a shared spiritual affinity, which, despite considerable efforts at disguise, he was unable to deny.
"'The Feminine in Heine's Life and Oeuvre' clearly breaks new ground in Heine scholarship. Although many biographers of Heine have mentioned the importance of women in Heine's life and the significance of female figures in his work, little has been done in terms of a thorough psychological analysis of Heine's attitude toward women. Diana Lynn Justis's study shows the importance of gender as a fundamental category for the analysis of Heine's work." (Peter Uwe Hohendahl, Cornell University)
"This study documents the complexity of Heinrich Heine's image of and relationship to women - real women, imagined women, desired women, feared and frightened women. Diana Lynn Justis has added a new dimension to the study of Heine and his sense of his world." (Sander L. Gilman, Cornell University)
