Once the fires had burnedout, scholars attempted to absolve Hderlin of any responsibility for his wartime (mis)appropriation. Only a few saw that his work would have to be reread in the light of the iniquities that had been said and done in his name. This book examines how Hderlin was taken up by three such thinkers, among the most influential and controversial of their time: Martin Heidegger, Theodor W. Adorno, and Bertolt Brecht. It extrapolates from their writings on the poet three irreconcilable paradigms of reception -- conversation, polemic, and citation -- that are of significance for the broader project of working through the tarnished German cultural legacy after 1945. In each case, Hderlinis examined as the occasion for salvaging that legacy after, from, and in view of the catastrophe. This first full-length study of Hderlin's postwar reception will be of interest to students and scholars working in the fields ofGerman literature, European philosophy, the politics of cultural memory, and critical theory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert Savage is ARC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Savage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571133208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571133205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Camden House (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009","brand":"Robert Savage","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44068623679743,"sku":"9781571133205","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26c2e941-75bd-4cdf-be7d-2d2cd9b5a262.jpg?v=1685420075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hlderlin-after-the-catastrophe-robert-savage-9781571133205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
