Unreading Rilke

Unorthodox Approaches to a Cultural Myth. Edited by Hartmut Heep.

This volume subjects Rilke's oeuvre to a critical, unorthodox reading. The 12 essays collected in this book (four of them in German) offer new insights into Rilke’s psyche, his Duino Elegies, his impact on Hollywood and Russian art, and his influence on other authors. Literary theory, postmodernism, cultural studies, gender studies, and psychoanalysis help debunk the myth of Rainer Maria Rilke.
