Hölderlin Handbook

Few German poets have received as much attention up to the recent past as Friedrich Hölderlin. The handbook, for many years the standard work on Hölderlin research, informs in the new edition in detail about the current state of research and knowledge. It analyzes the poet's entire oeuvre and also deals with Hölderlin's biography in the context of the epoch, the preconditions for the work, poetology, and finally Hölderlin's reception. In this way, different approaches and the diversity of Hölderlin's thought motifs become transparent. In the second edition, numerous articles have been newly written and supplemented.
