"Rainer Maria Rilkes' early verse is often seen as having little
relevance to the great achievement of the middle years, the Neue
Gedichte. Yet the very different styles of the juvenilia and this new
maturity are united by a preoccupation with processes of motion and
growth which governs both his life and work. In this meticulous
philological study, Ben Hutchinson reassesses every level of Rilkes
early poetry, from its motives and metaphors to its very grammar and
syntax, in order to trace what he terms a poetics of becoming. With
careful attention to rhythm, resonance and linguistic detail, he
illuminates both the hidden patterns of the poetry and the artistic
context of the fin-de-siecle. From its roots in the intellectual
climate of the 1890s to the poems inspired by Rodin in 1908, Rilkes
stylistic development is set against the surprising consistency with
which he pursues this poetics of becoming."
