Rilke is one of the leading poets of European Modernism, and one of
the great twentieth-century lyric poets in German. From The Book of
Hours in 1905 to the Sonnets of Orpheus written in 1922, he
constantly probed the relationship between his art and the world
around him, moving from the neo-romantic and the mystic towards the
precise craft of expressing the everyday in poetry. This new
edition--the only bilingual edition to include such a broad range
of poems--fully reflects Rilke's poetic development. It contains
the full text of the Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus, and
selected poems from The Book of Images, New Poems, and earlier
volumes, and from the uncollected poetry 1906-26. The translations
are accurate, sensitive, and nuanced, and are accompanied by an
introduction and notes that chart the development of Rilke's poetic
practice and his central role in modern poetry. The book also
includes a chronology, select bibliography, and explanatory notes
that identify people and places, and include key commentary by
Rilke from letters or notes.
