Hölderlin's Hymns "Germania" and "the Rhine" by Martin Heidegger

Coming at a crucial time in his career, this title illustrates Martin Heidegger's turn toward language, art, and poetry while reflecting his despair at his failure to revolutionize the German university and his hope for a more profound revolution through the German language, guided by Holderlin's poetry.

[This translation], including a clear and concise introduction and useful glossaries, attains both accuracy and clarity, rarely faltering in its choice of words
