This study of Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) examines the poet's
understanding of the malleable nature of identity, while addressing
the question of Rilke's place in literary history. In line with
contemporary literary theory which views the � self as a societal �
construction and strategic narrative device, this study explores
Rilke's preoccupations with identity in his work, as he
investigates the disintegration of the subjective self in the
modern world. Rilke's re-readings of the mythological figures of
Orpheus and Narcissus in modern psychological terms, as well as in
terms of traditional poetics, are keys not only to his poetics and
his changing understanding of � self, but also to his evolving
critique of society. This study tracks how Rilke's Orphic work
disengages traditional patterns of perceptions, not only to
challenge fidelity to history, but also to recover the power of
traditional elements from that history to help articulate
subjectivity in new terms.
