Because of the inventiveness and musicality of his poetic language and the visionary intuition of his thinking, Rilke's influence extends well beyond poetry to include religion, philosophy, the social sciences, and the arts. His works have been widely translated into English, and new renderings of such poem cycles as \"Duino Elegies\" and \"The Sonnets to Orpheus\" appear frequently. Critics regard Rilke's \u003cem\u003eNotebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge\u003c\/em\u003e as a seminal modern novel. \u003cem\u003eThe Companion to Rilke\u003c\/em\u003e provides essential, up-to-date essays by top Rilke scholars on a wide range of the major aspects of Rilke's life and works. The volume follows the chronology of Rilke's career, emphasizing those works that have not been met with the greatest critical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered are: Rilke's life and thought; the writings before 1902; Das Stunden-Buch and Das Buch der Bilder; the Neue Gedichte, The Cornet and other brief narratives; Malte Laurids Brigge; The Duino Elegies; The Sonnets to Orpheus; Rilke as a poet in French; Rilke and the visual arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e323 pages\u003cbr\u003eBOYE6, 2004\u003cbr\u003e6 x 0.7 x 9 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781571133021\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":317319175,"sku":"9781571133021","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Companion_To_Works_of_Rainer_Maria_Rilke.jpg?v=1634493825","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/a-companion-to-the-works-of-rainer-maria-rilke","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
