Summary "Heinrich von Kleist's Politische Schriften und andere Nachträge zu seinen Werken" is a collection of political writings and essays written in the 19th century. This compilation, edited by Rudolf Köpke, reveals Kleist’s reflections on the socio-political climate of his time, demonstrating his engagement with themes of patriotism, national unity, and individual struggle. Through a variety of satirical letters and philosophical musings, the work examines the complex relationship between literature and politics during a tumultuous period in German history. The opening of the collection presents a heartfelt dedication to Friedrich von Raumer, honoring his sixty years of service. Following this, an introduction discusses Kleist’s despair over Germany's political state, illustrated through a poignant view of his attempts to reconcile his artistic ambitions with a deep sense of national identity. It highlights his belief in the inherent value of his work for the homeland amid widespread neglect and criticism. The introduction sets the tone for the subsequent pieces, which encompass a range of prose and poetry that aim to inspire, inform, and provoke thought on the responsibilities of both the individual and society during times of crisis.
