Eduard Mike: The Man and the Poet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367856199)

Originally published in 1957, this was the first biography and full account of Eduard Mike's works to appear in English. One of the greatest German lyric poets, Mike is, according to some critics equal to Goethe as a lyricist. This book was the first attempt to analyse Mike's highly suggestive drawings, some of which are reproduced in the book. The contents of poems are summarized, so no prior knowledge of German is assumed, and a large number of poems are quoted in full.
