{"product_id":"selected-poems-with-parallel-german-text-9780199569410","title":"Selected Poems: With Parallel German Text","description":"Rilke is one of the leading poets of European Modernism, and one of the great twentieth-century lyric poets in German. From \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Hours\u003c\/em\u003e in 1905 to the \u003cem\u003eSonnets of Orpheus\u003c\/em\u003e written in 1922, he constantly probed the relationship between his art and the world around him, moving from the neo-romantic and the mystic towards the precise craft of expressing the everyday in poetry. This new edition--the only bilingual edition to include such a broad range of poems--fully reflects Rilke's poetic development. It contains the full text of the \u003cem\u003eDuino Elegies\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eSonnets to Orpheus\u003c\/em\u003e, and selected poems from \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Images, New Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, and earlier volumes, and from the uncollected poetry 1906-26. The translations are accurate, sensitive, and nuanced, and are accompanied by an introduction and notes that chart the development of Rilke's poetic practice and his central role in modern poetry. The book also includes a chronology, select bibliography, and explanatory notes that identify people and places, and include key commentary by Rilke from letters or notes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
