Heinrich von Kleist: Gedichte / Gelegenheitsverse und Albumblätter, edited by Michael Holzinger, presents a comprehensive collection of Kleist's poetry, including works first published between 1808 and 1811. This edition features a complete, revised text along with a biography of the author. The collection includes occasional verses and album pieces that Kleist wrote in various guest books, many of which were only printed in the early 20th century, often as facsimiles. The table of contents encompasses a variety of poems, such as "Der hohere Frieden," "Der Engel am Grabe des Herrn," and "Kriegslied der Deutschen," alongside shorter occasional poems and epigrams. Notable works include odes to historical figures and personal dedications, reflecting Kleist's engagement with his contemporaries and his reflections on themes of honor, loss, and nature. The text is based on the 1977 edition of Kleist's complete works and letters, ensuring a scholarly foundation. The design features a cover image of a miniaturized portrait of Kleist by Peter Friedel from 1801, with the text set in Times New Roman, 10 pt. This edition not only preserves Kleist's literary legacy but also provides insight into his life and the historical context of his work.
