Heinrich Heine roots was indeed more frequent and was voiced by George Eliot, Matthew Arnold, and the poet's coreligionists. In the main, however. Englishmen did not place unusual stress upon his Jewishness. They accepted it as an additional aspect of his complicated personality and appraised it without love or malice. During waves of anti-German feeling, it enabled the English to make an exception in his behalf and to see him as the Pan-European and Internationalist rather than as a typical German. During the First World War and during the Nineteen- Thirties, when wrath against imperial Prussianism and against Hitler's Third Reich was at its height, Heine did not suffer detraction to the same extent as did Wagner, Nietzsche, or his Romantic contemporaries. He was rather accepted as an apostle of democracy and as a prophet of European cataclysms and world rebirth. [126]

Its author was William Sharp, who afterwards established a considerable reputation as a poet in his own right under the pseudonym of "Fiona Macleod." Thirteen years previously, William Stigand had published a two-volume biography for English readers, but despite its bulk, it was hardly more than a compilation of famihar material based upon Adolf Strodtmann's German book, with the addition of numerous Heine-quotations. Stigand himself took no stand on any of the controversial aspects of his hero's personality. He failed to integrate the mass of detailed information and, as a result, there did not emerge any clear, incisive portrait of the poet and thinker. Sharp, on the other hand, boldly unravelled the complexities of his subject. He continued the English tradition established [127]
