Hölderlin's Sophocles Book

These texts are stitched through with the vocabulary of excess, of madness, rage...those forces in his own psychology which, very soon, would carry him over the edge""-David Constantine. Friedrich Hölderlin was one of Europe's greatest poets. Acclaimed British poet and translator (Michaux, Jaccottet) David Constantine's Selected Poems of Hölderlin won him the 1997 European Poetry Translation. Now he has turns to Hölderlin's versions of Sophocles, seeking to create an equivalent English for these extraordinary German recreations of the classic Greek verse plays.

Constantine has translated Hölderlin's translations, carrying as much of their strangeness as possible into English.Read More
