A scene of self-sacrifice can never be staged or secured. The work
of Friedrich Holderlin, arguably one of the most profound writers
of the German Enlightenment, supports this idea in fascinating
ways. Much of Holderlin's critical reception, however, has the poet
saying the exact opposite, Joseph Suglia counters the dominant
critical reception of Holderlin's Enpedokles fragments, which would
transform the tragic hero's experience of mortality into a project
that would be accomplished in the name of the transcendent
reconciliation of disparate spheres. This book also focuses on a
densely detailed consideration of the work of the great French
critic and literary artist, Maurice Blanchot, whose own treatment
of self-sacrifice exists in closer proximity to Holderlin's than
the former appears to recognize. For Blanchot, it is argued,
self-sacrifice is « a sacrifice that is an engagement with, in, and
for language, a sacrifice that is both madness and mystery.
