TY - GEN N2 - "A sign we are, uninterpreted. Painless we are and have almost / lost the language in a foreign country." Thus begins the second version of Friedrich Holderlin's hymn dedicated to goddess of memory, Mnemosyne. "Holderlin and the Consequences" wants to remember this 'poet of poets' and consider what his unmatched poems have stimulated, even triggered, in others. This scholarly essay examines the legacy of a poet who was, by and large, ostracized in his time, a master of language, who was declared a stranger by his contemporaries until he became a stranger to himself. Holderlin's multiple experience of foreignness and alienation was later counteracted by often ideologically motivated attempts to appropriate him. Rudiger Gorner presents this complex context as a special case in recent literary history. This book is a translation of an original German 1st edition Holderlin und die Folgen by Rudiger Gorner, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2016. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The author (with the support of Josh Torabi) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically DO - 10.1007/978-3-476-05818-8 DO - doi AB - "A sign we are, uninterpreted.
