Often regarded as the greatest German poet of the twentieth
century, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 1926) remains one of the most
influential figures of European modernism. In this Companion,
leading scholars offer informative and thought-provoking essays on
his life and social context, his correspondence, all his major
collections of poetry including most famously the Duino Elegies and
Sonnets to Orpheus, and his seminal novel of Modernist anxiety, The
Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Rilke's critical contexts are
explored in detail: his relationship with philosophy and the visual
arts, his place within modernism and his relationship to European
literature, and his reception in Europe and beyond. With its
invaluable guide to further reading and a chronology of Rilke's
life and work, this Companion will provide an accessible, engaging
account of this extraordinary poet whose legacy looms so large
today.
