      Rilke is one of the leading poets of European Modernism, and one of the great twentieth-century lyric poets in German. From <em>Th of Hours</em> in 1905 to the <em>Sonnets of Orpheus</em> written in 1922, he constantly probed the relationship between his art and the world around him, moving from the<br>neo-romantic and the mystic towards the precise craft of expressing the everyday in poetry. This new edition--the only bilingual edition to include such a broad range of poems--fully reflects Rilke's poetic development. It contains the full text of the <em>Duino Elegies</em> and the <em>Sonnets to Orpheus</em>, and<br>selected poems from <em>Th of Images, New Poems</em>, and earlier volumes, and from the uncollected poetry 1906-26. The translations are accurate, sensitive, and nuanced, and are accompanied by an introduction and notes that chart the development of Rilke's poetic practice and his central role in<br>modern poetry. Th also includes a chronology, select bibliography, and explanatory notes that identify people and places, and include key commentary by Rilke from letters or notes.<br><br><strong>About the Series:</strong> For over 100 years <strong>Oxford World's Classics </strong>has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
