"Krell has not only admirably translated the sense of the originalhis knowledge of German is obviously first-rate, and he has a sovereign understanding of the philosophical currents of Hlderlin's timebut also generally maintained the meter Even the reader who knows German will want to consult this fine piece of scholarship." CHOICE "It is hardly surprising that this book is a masterly achievement that will undoubtedly have an enormous impact on the study of Hlderlin's work by Anglophone philosophers and literary theorists. The detailed accounts of Hlderlin's life and works and of the circumstances surrounding the project of The Death of Empedocles are thorough and accurate and are presented in a manner that is enlivening and evenin the most positive senseprovocative. There is no philosopher today who is more knowledgeable about Hlderlin than David Krell." John Sallis, author of The Gathering of Reason, Second Edition "The importance of Friedrich Hlderlin's literary writings and philosophical prose for readers from Hegel and Schelling to Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, de Man, and beyond cannot be overstated, and Hlderlin's unfinished mourning-play, The Death of Empedocles, is one of his most enigmatic creations. David Farrell Krell's supremely sensitive translation of the three extant versions of the play itself and of Hlderlin's related theoretical meditations, together with a meticulously well-informed introduction and analytical essay, make this volume indispensable. Hlderlin would have relished the thought of a poetically and philosophically kindred spirit such as Krell following him across languages and centuries." Gerhard Richter, author of Thought-Images: Frankfurt School Writers' Reflections from Damaged Life
