Peter Szondis pathbreaking work is a succinct and elegant argument
for distinguishing between a philosophy of the tragic and the
poetics of tragedy espoused by Aristotle. The first of the books
two parts consists of a series of commentaries on philosophical and
aesthetic texts from twelve thinkers and poets between 1795 and
1915: Schelling, Holderlin, Hegel, Solger, Goethe, Schopenhauer,
Vischer, Kierkegaard, Hebbel, Nietzsche, Simmel, and Scheler. The
various definitions of tragedy are read not so much in terms of
their specific philosophies, but rather in the way their views
assist in analyzing tragedies with an aim to establish a general
concept of the tragic.
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.

Peter Szondi is widely regarded as being among the most distinguished post-war literary critics. This first English edition of one of his most lucid and interesting series of lectures, translated by Martha Woodmansee and with a foreword by Joel Weinsheimer, opens up his work in hermeneutics for English-speaking readers. The question of what is involved in understanding a text occupied Biblical and legal scholars long before it became a concern of literary critics. Peter Szondi here traces the development of hermeneutics through examination of the work of 18th-century German scholars. Ordinarily treated only as prefigurations of Schleiermacher, the work of Enlightenment theorists Johann Martin Chladenius, George Friedrich Meier and Friedrich Ast yields valuable unsight into the material theory of interpretation, on which a practical interpretive metholody might be built.
