The first English translation of two stories from Rilke's earliest prose work.

A study of the language of visionary poetry, making use of the principles of speech-act philosophy to analyze the creative properties of utterance from the Bible to the work of Milton and Blake.

This book develops a new context and methodology for reading Romantic literature by exploring philosophies of language from the period 1785-1835. It explores the moral, political, and legal philosophy of Reid, Bentham, Kant and the German Idealists, Humboldt, and Coleridge, and literary texts by Coleridge, Godwin, Hoelderlin, and Kleist.
