Description

This is a biography of Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), the 20th-century lyric poet, whose works - the "New Poems", the "Duino Elegies", the "Sonnets to Orpheus" - and in prose the "Cornet" and the "Malte Laurids Brigge", have been of lasting significance for European literature. An account of this most complex of lives, "A Ringing Glass" shows what manner of man lay behind the achievement of the work, and the part that work in turn played in Rilke's life. The text is suitable for scholars, students, and general readers of Rilke in particular, and 20th-century literature in general.
