Opis

The reviews discussed in this volume about Paul Celan, arguably the most important German-language poet of the last fifty years, reflect the wide spectrum of opinion he encountered at the hands of the critics. The contributions were selected in so far as they make apparent the nature of Celan's development as a poet as well as the history and maturation of his reception and influence.

Recenzje

"The present title can be very helpful as a guide to this vast Celan industry...The value of Rosenthal's presentation is that it provides an introduction to Celan's life as well as bringing some order to the arcane, complex secondary literature about this difficult poet." (R.C. Conard, Choice)
