Produktbeschreibung
Novalis's Hymns to the Night is not only one of the seminal documents of German Romanticism as well as of modern poetry and poetic experimentation, it is also one of the landmarks of Sophiology. The poem, which shifts from poetic forms to prose, from biography to the realm of the spirit, and from the historical to the transcendent, discloses to the reader a world ever new, as the poet scales the heights of poetic inspiration and touches divinity. Mabel Cotterell is sensitive both to Novalis's poetics and to his mysticism, the ideal translator of his work. She captures the exquisite artistry and startling freshness of Novalis's words in language filled with grace and light.
Autorenporträt
NOVALIS (Georg Philipp Friedrich von Hardenberg, 1772-1801) was perhaps the greatest of the poets of German Romanticism. The author of Hymns to the Night, he died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. As the great 20th-century theologian Karl Barth observed, "We shall only be able to speak of a true Neo-romanticism for all time when Romanticism is once again seriously taken up in the sense that Novalis understood it, and in his spirit."
