Transformation of Language and Religion in Rainer Maria Rilke - Johannes Wich-Schwarz - Bog

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), perhaps the most famous European poet of the twentieth century, exemplifies how the crisis of language inherent in literary Modernism also constitutes a crisis of religious discourse. This book offers readings of major texts such as "The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge" and "The Duino Elegies".
