Description
Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus offers a profound exploration of the poet's late masterpiece. This collection of essays by philosophers, literary critics, and Rilke scholars delves into the philosophical significance of the Sonnets, revealing their unique character and importance. By examining the Sonnets' connections to the Duino Elegies and their formal and technical qualities, the volume sheds new light on the poet's oeuvre. The essays cover a range of themes, from phenomenology and existentialism to hermeneutics and philosophy of language, and demonstrate the relevance of the Sonnets to various fields of study. An introductory essay sets the stage for the volume, situating the Sonnets within the context of philosophical poetics and the reception of Rilke as a philosophical poet. This interdisciplinary approach to poetry and Rilke's Sonnets offers crucial insights, expanding the horizons of philosophy and criticism.
