Peter Szondi's "Celan Studies" marked the beginning of critical
work on Paul Celan, the most important German poet of the second
half of the twentieth century.
The book's three studies each concentrate on a different Celan
poem. "The Poetry of Constancy: Paul Celan's Translation of
Shakespeare's Sonnet 105" investigates a historical turn from a
poetry that claims to present its object to a poetry that only
promises to do so. "Reading 'Engfuhrung'" follows the movement of
poetic language into territory undisclosed to epistemic reason.
"Eden" addresses "Du liegst," a poem on the murder of Rosa
Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht; Szondi actually was with Celan when
the poem was written. It analyzes the relation between the
historical facts to which a poem refers and its composition.
The book contains, as appendixes, Szondi's notes for three more
projected studies of Celan poems, left unwritten at the time of his
death in 1971.
