Ingeborg Bachmann (1927-73), one of the most acclaimed
German-language poets of the post-war period, famously turned away
from the lyric during the 1960s. Publicly declaring that she had
stopped writing poetry, Bachmann began work on the prose Todesarten
cycle that would dominate the last decade of her life. During a
period of personal breakdown in the 1960s, however, she privately
continued to write in verse, and the publication of selected drafts
in 2000 threw new light on her compositional methods in this
period. As the most extensive study to date of the poetic drafts,
this monograph leads away from the polemic that surrounded their
publication to establish the fragmentary texts as an experimental
stage of writing that proved formally and thematically significant
for later published prose works. Bridging the genre gap of much
Bachmann scholarship, McMurtry illuminates the development of a
reflexive mode where sophisticated aesthetic strategies enable the
oblique expression of cultural critique. Aine McMurtry is Lecturer
in German at Durham University.
