This new critical biography of Friedrich Hoelderlin (1770-1843) is
the first to appear for more than fifty years. In this time his
status as one of the greatest European poets has become
increasingly apparent - yet he is commonly considered a 'difficult'
poet. A prime aim of this book is to make Hoelderlin more
accessible to the English-speaking reader. This comprehensive
discussion of Hoelderlin's work includes close readings of many
individual poems, with English translations of all quotations. The
author, who is also concerned to locate Hoelderlin constantly in
his times, recounts in a chronological framework the main line of
the poet's life, his dealings with his important contemporaries,
his love for Susette Gontard, and the long years of loneliness and
frustration. Hoelderlin is an archetypal figure, exciting fear and
pity, a poet whose religion was founded on the conviction that his
gods were absent, and whose modernity lies in his experience of
absence.
