Two Studies of Friedrich Hoelderlin shows how the poet enacts a
radical theory of meaning that culminates in a unique and still
groundbreaking concept of revolution, one that begins with a
revolutionary understanding of language. The product of an intense
engagement with both Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, the book
presents Werner Hamacher's major attempts at developing a critical
practice commensurate with the immensity of Hoelderlin's late
writings. These essays offer an incisive and innovative combination
of critical theory and deconstruction while also identifying where
influential critics like Heidegger fail to do justice to the poet's
astonishing radicality. Readers will not only come away with a new
appreciation of Hoelderlin's poetic and political-theoretical
achievements but will also discover the motivating force behind
Hamacher's own achievements as a literary scholar and political
theorist. An introduction by Julia Ng and an afterword by Peter
Fenves provide further information about these studies and the
academic and theoretical context in which they were composed.
