When Rilke died in 1926, his reputation as a great poet seemed
secure. But as the tide of the critical avant-garde turned, he was
increasingly dismissed as apolitical, too inward. In Rilke: The
Last Inward Man, acclaimed critic Lesley Chamberlain uses this
charge as the starting point from which to explore the
expansiveness of the inner world Rilke created in his poetry.
Weaving together searching insights on Rilke's life, work and
reception, Chamberlain casts Rilke's inwardness as a profound
response to a world that seemed ever more lacking in spirituality.
In works of dazzling imagination and rich imagery, Rilke sought to
restore spirit to Western materialism, encouraging not narrow
introversion but a heightened awareness of how to live with the
world as it is, of how to retain a sense of transcendence within a
world of collapsed spiritual certainty.
