Meridian - Final Versiondraftsmaterials

Zusatztext "It may seem quixotic to undertake a translation of all the notes and drafts leading up to The Meridian . However, with a poet of Celan's importance—a poet not given to writing statements at all and whose collected prose amounts to some 50 pages—just tracing the genesis of this major poetics statement would be worthwhile. But what we have here is more: it is a record of Celan's thinking. In other words, a treasure." Informationen zum Autor Paul Celan (1920–1970) remains the most important German-language poet of his time, His oeuvre —11 volumes of poetry and a wide range of translations from eight languages of poets such as Shakespeare, Mandelstam, Valéry, Rimbaud—has received massive critical attention from major thinkers such as Hans-Georg Gadamer, Peter Szondi, Maurice Blanchot, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe.
