{ "item_title" : "The Law of Poetry", "item_author" : [" Charles Lewis "], "item_description" : "The place of Friedrich H lderlin (1770-1843) in European literature is assured, and his significance for the development of German philosophy widely acknowledged. Here the focus is more specifically upon his poetics: a body of reflections on the nature of poetry and the meaning of the poet's vocation. These are found in poems and letters, in difficult (and often fragmentary) theoretical writings, and -- in the case of the 'Pindar Fragments' -- texts in which the distinction between poetry and theoretical reflection seems to be overcome. Although H lderlin's poetics is considered from various points of view, the themes that emerge most frequently are H lderlin's notion of a 'poetic law' or 'poetic logic', and his conception of tragedy and of what might be called the 'anti-tragic'. Also included is a new translation of H lderlin's 'Notes' on Sophocles, which are here provided with a commentary.Charles Lewis received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cambridge University. He has taught at Princeton University, and held an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship at the Free University, Berlin.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/78/188/729/1781887292_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "110.00", "online_price" : "110.00", "our_price" : "110.00", "club_price" : "110.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
