Opis

Poetry and the Question of Modernity provides the first extended account of the relationship between Heidegger’s thought and modern poetry: it is not simply another study of Heidegger’s views on poetry, rather it seeks to establish how his thought frames the defining questions of the lyric from the 1950s onwards.
