Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contemporary German Poetry
Before Liliencron there had been a proverb: Holsatz'a non cantal. This he disproved: in his poems his native province of schleswig-holstein, with its marshes, its leagues of rolling heather, and its sad, grey sea over oozy ?ats, lives and sings indeed. It was not till his fortieth year that he began to write, but during the remainder of his life he poured out, in verse often more technically perfect than that of the Munich School, the accumulated memories of his rich and reckless life. He is first and foremost a poet of the Open air: of war, and of the chase; and the directness of his style, the familiarity of his themes, and the hardihood.
