Description: Based on a close study of the versions of Pindar and Sophocles, and placing Holderlin's practice in its 18th-century context, this book explores the meaning of translation for Holderlin's work as a whole, devoting particular attention to the poetry.
Review Quotes: This study through the perspective of translation is a must for every Holderlin scholar, carefully argued, well researched, and a pleasure to read.--Reinhilde Wiegmann "Monatshefte, 93.1, 2001, 121-2 ""
