Description

Friedrich Hölderlin's essays and letters offer essential insights into the development of modernist poetics. This collection contains virtually all of his theoretical writings, previously unavailable to English readers, alongside key letters that chart the evolution of his thought. The critical introduction provides a historical context for Hölderlin's work, tracing its genesis from Enlightenment ideas and its interaction with post-Kantian Idealism. The book also explores the interplay between Idealistic philosophy and Romantic poetry and poetics. Through a close examination of three short fragments, Pfau reveals that Hölderlin's early theoretical writings mark a significant departure from the systematicity of his contemporaries, instead anticipating key aspects of modern philosophical thought.
