Die Lyrik Gottfried Kellers

Gottfried Keller is known and appreciated as lyric poet only by a few admirers; in anthologies he leads a rather shadowy existence. This book demonstrates that his poems deserve to be resurrected from obscurity. The author presents Keller's poetry in 16 chapters, classified according to its dominant features and aesthetic form. Each chapter contains a concise commentary on the individual poems and one or more exemplary text interpretations. The intention of the book is to be the first literary presentation of all of Keller's poetry, taking into account the research on the subject.
