FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Two Studies of Friedrich Hoelderlin shows how the poet enacts a radical theory of meaning that culminates in a unique and still groundbreaking concept of revolution, one that begins with a revolutionary understanding of language. The product of an intense engagement with both Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, the book presents Werner Hamachers major attempts at developing a critical practice commensurate with the immensity of Hoelderlins late writings. These essays offer an incisive and innovative combination of critical theory and deconstruction while also identifying where influential critics like Heidegger fail to do justice to the poets astonishing radicality.

His writings here stand alone in their scholarly mastery and philological brilliance."—Susan Bernstein, Brown University"This is an extraordinary book, in which the brilliance of literary interpretation and the force of critical argument can hardly be told apart. Each of its two studies shines a bright light on Hölderlins poetry and poetics, and each bears witness to the exceptional subtlety, precision, and originality for which Werner Hamachers own work is known."—Daniel Heller-Roazen, Princeton University"Hamacher examines works of philosophy and literature with a rigorous philological attention attuned to subtleties of language and poetics....The essays in the present volume...are models of rigorous literary-philosophical criticism and a deserving memorial to Hamachers work in this area. Recommended."—R. Bledsoe, CHOICE Review Quote "This is an extraordinary book, in which the brilliance of literary interpretation and the force of critical argument can hardly be told apart.
