Description
The Whole Difference brings together the remarkable writings of Hugo von Hofmannsthal, one of the modern era's most important writers. This comprehensive collection includes new translations alongside classic works long out of print.
Edited by poet and librettist J.D. McClatchy, the selection spans Hofmannsthal's diverse output: early lyric poems, short prose works, keen essays, and visionary plays. The collection reflects his extraordinary range, from the glittering salons of imperial Vienna to the bloodied ruins of Europe after the Great War.
With an introduction by McClatchy, this collection reveals an artist whose unusual subtlety and depth will enthrall readers. Complete with a range of works that showcase Hofmannsthal's unique voice, The Whole Difference is a fresh introduction to his remarkable writings in English.
