Sinossi

Heinrich Heine's 'Atta Troll' stands as a formidable entry in the canon of satirical verse, a poem brimming with the philosophical and political ironies of the nineteenth century. As a mock-epic, it expertly fuses an intricate allegory with Heine's characteristic lyricism and sharp wit, targeting the myopia of contemporary radical poets. The titular character, Atta Troll, serves as a vessel for ridiculing the shortsighted ideals Heine saw threatening the intellectual landscape of his time, such as a na"ive concept of equality and a self-serving religiosity, which is cleverly portrayed through the character's envisioning of the divine as a celestial iteration of his ursine form. The tale's progression, following the pursuit of the anthropomorphized bear and his offspring, is a deft exemplation of the author's skepticism towards burgeoning nationalistic fervor.
Heine's own odyssey as a poet and essayist, entwined with the social turmoil and intellectual upheaval of his era, certainly informed the satiric bite of 'Atta Troll.' A figure of the Young Germany movement, Heine was an ambivalent observer of the revolutions that upended Europe, critical of both reactionary conservatism and the pitfalls of radical zeal. This dichotomy in his worldview sows the seeds from which 'Atta Troll' sprouts, instilling the poem with the existential nuances that define his oeuvre. In crafting this work, Heine not only addresses specific figures like Freiligrath but enacts a broader critique of the era's poetics and politics, coded in the movements of a fugitive bear.
Given its historical significance and literary vigor, 'Atta Troll' is a must-read for admirers of satirical literature and scholars of the Romantic period alike. The poem not only offers a glimpse into the literary battles of Heine's time but also serves as a timeless commentary on the human condition. Readers will appreciate Heine's blend of humor and philosophical depth, which, together with the text's rhythmic elegance, make 'Atta Troll' an enriching experience resonant with modernity's complex dialogues.

    These are powerful, moving and accomplished poems that speak to all humanity, written by a certain woman documenting her uncertain becomings over time.
    Whatever the certainties of those enforcing it or of those of us willingly or unwillingly defined by it, the category 'woman' has always been uncertain.
    'One is not born a woman', Simone de Beauvoir observes, 'one becomes one'.
    But what is it to be deeply certain of an urgent calling to womanhood all of one's life yet violently excluded from such a becoming?
    What is it to win through?
