Originally published in 1957, this volume brings together a
collection of essays and hard to source translations on both well
and lesser known German writers and poets, including Hoelderlin,
Benn, Mann and Nietzsche. The essays are linked by a consideration
of the tension between the desire for what Thomas Mann called 'the
miracle of ingeniousness regained' and the constrains of reason.
The book shows how this tension contributes toward the prophetic
nature of so much 18th and 19th Century German literature and its
modernity, which qualities are also placed in the context of German
political and social conditions. All prose quotations are given in
English translation, and the majority of verse quotations in both
German and English.
