Hölderlins Dionysiac Poetry

Meer over het boek

Friedrich Hölderlin's poetry is explored as a distinctive contribution to Western literature, particularly through his translations of Greek tragedy. The book highlights how his work retrieves the socio-political dimensions of a Dionysiac space-time and language, aiming to confront the alienation of humanity from nature and each other. This new perspective illuminates the interplay between Hölderlin's themes and the broader cultural context of his time.
