This volume collects Jeremy Adler's keynote essays on poetry and experimental writing. Employing a distinctive philological method, he analyses Goethe's links to Renai-ssance poetics, German idealist philosophy, the natural sciences, and the fiction of Henry James. His detailed studies of Hoelderlin's theory of tragedy, and the innovations of August Stramm are also printed, as are a series of essays on the inter-art relations in the visual poetry of George Herbert, Sigmund von Birken, Stephane Mallarme, and the paintings of Paul Klee.

Together with The Compass of Dignity: Persecution, Literature and Law, also available in this series, the volume collects the major essays of Jeremy Adler.
