Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Unpolitische Lieder. Zweite Auflage. Hamburg, Hoffmann & Campe, 1842. 2 parts in 1 volume. 8vo. Marbled publisher s boards; red morocco title label; worn. Satirical poems of contemporary German society with a definite political bias belying the book s ironical title. Hoffmann (1784-1874), a liberal professor of German literature at Breslau, was dismissed as a result of this publication in which he criticises bourgeois complacency, philistines, the princes , the aristocratic, military and clerical establishment, as well as Jews, foreigners, and fellow poets. The author expresses his yearning for a liberal revolution. He is best known for a poem later chosen as the text for the German national anthem. The 2nd edition containing ten additional poems replacing earlier ones.
