Sinossi

Rilke is the most read and discussed modern German poet, and the Duino Elegies are among his greatest achievements. Commentators have often treated the poetic features of the elegies as mere formal devices that we can somehow see through to get to what really matters: what Rilke has to say about the human condition or the meaning of life. But they are constitutive of meaning in the elegies, and understanding them is crucial. This book, the first one in English devoted to the elegies in three decades, and including a new translation and detailed commentaries, aims to facilitate that understanding.
