Judith Ryan traces Rilke's development from aestheticism to modernism, paying special attention to the way his work engages with other poetry and the visual arts. Taking a skeptical view of Rilke's own myth of himself as a solitary genius, Ryan shows how deeply his writing is embedded in the culture of its day. Rilke is now the most widely-read and influential German-language poet, and this study is full of surprising discoveries about his innovative and often profoundly moving poems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this solid literary history is recommended for all libraries." Choice

"In the flood of secondary literature on Rilke, an essential book comes along now and then. Because of its general clarity of arguments, its evidence of vast parallel reading (and viewing), the the keeness of its perceptions and arguments, and - best of all- the novelty of its insight, Professor Ryan's entry in the Cambridge Studies in German must be regarded as a major event." George C. Schoolfield, Germanic Notes and Reviews

"...an exemplary piece of scholarly writing...full of fascinating new finds...destined to change the way we think about the poet and his work." Modern Language Quarterly

Book Description

A 1999 study of Rilke's poetic development, and ways in which his poetry is embedded in the culture of its day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisp, clear, clean, precise writing
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020
Ryan writes with immaculate clarity and concision. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. There are precious lessons in this book for all who want to comprehend illusive poetry.

3.0 out of 5 stars worth picking through but a little disappointing

Judith Ryan has an impressive resumé but this work was not worth reading twice. I'd have to go back to the original languages of the poems written by Rilke to see how viable some of her interpretations are but theoretical sophistication is probable not Ryan's strong suit. I really got the impression that I was reading an academic with no real substantial understanding of theology or metaphysics. The historical information in the book is good though. Some of her interpretations of the 'book of hours' were superficial. If an undergraduate at a UC had written those interpretations I would have given them an 'A'. But I would not expect this type of work to come out of (if I'm not mistaken) an Iy League professor.
