Brings together all of Gadamer's published writings on Celan's
poetry, and makes them available in English for the first time.
This is accessible commentary on a notoriously difficult poet.
Gadamer on Celan makes all of Hans-Georg Gadamer's published
writings on Paul Celan's poetry available in English for the first
time. Gadamer's commentaries on Celan's work are explicitly meant
for a general audience, and they are further testimony to Celan's
growing importance in world literature since the Second World War.
Celan's poetry has attracted the attention of many well-known
figures, including Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Edmond
Jabe's, Otto Poggeler, and George Steiner. As Steiner has said, "It
will take a long time for our sensibilities to apprehend poetry of
these dimensions and this radicality". Gadamer's commentaries will
help readers to listen to Celan's poetry, and to become acquainted
with his only book-length commentary on a poet, using the best
example of Gadamer's thinking on the relationship of philosophy and
poetry. This book also contains a translation of Who Am land Who
Are You?, the centerpiece of Gadamer's most important philosophical
project since the publication of Truth and Method (1960).
