Description
Book SynopsisIn the context of Holderlin's poetics of alienation, exile, and wandering, Gosetti-Ferencei poses a phenomenologically sensitive theory of poetic language and a "new poetics of Dasein," or being there.
Trade Review"The book is a state-of-the-art discussion of Heidegger ... The reader emerges from this book with a tremendous sense of possibility-of new avenues opened up, and of old debates unclogged." -- -Nicholas Birns New School University "The perennially interesting complex of topics--Heidegger's thought, Holderlin's thought and poetry, Heidegger's reading of Holderlin's poetry--is here enriched by a fourth meditation, written against the grain: Jennifer Gosetti-Ferencei reads Heidegger's thought in the light of Holderlin's poetry and theoretical writings. The outcome is a defense and justification of poetic subjectivity at once subtle and exhilarating. Heidegger, Holderlin, and the Subject of Poetic Language is composed with admirable passion, erudition, and conceptual flair. It will be indispensable for students of continental philosophy, literature, and literary theory." -- -Stanley Corngold Princeton University
