Friedrich Hölderlins Ode Empedokles wurde in der Vergangenheit ausschließlich im Rahmen der gleichnamigen Dramenentwürfe sowie der Schrift Grund zum Empedokles thematisiert. In Form einer Wort-für-Wort vorgehenden Interpretation reflektiert die vorliegende Studie die Ode erstmals in ihrem poetischen Eigenwert und liest sie als einen zentralen Text für alle weiteren Arbeiten Hölderlins zu diesem Stoff. Die Ergebnisse der Interpretation eröffnen zugleich eine neue Perspektive auf Hölderlins Konzeption der ,poëtischen Individualität' und seine Poetik des ,Erinnerns'und erschließen so neue Zugänge zu seinen Texten. Der textnahen Lektüre der Empedokles-Ode sind theoretische Überlegungen zum methodischen Vorgehen sowie zur Metrik vorangestellt, die ausgehend von den Momenten ,Prozeß' und ,Struktur' die Poetizität und Individualität literarischer Texte allgemein zu denken versucht. Überdies enthält die Arbeit eine Textkritische Neuedition aller erhaltenen Überlieferungsträger der Ode, die die Entstehung des Textes sowie die poetische Verfahrensweise Hölderlins nachvollziehbar macht.

"Friedrich Hölderlin’s only novel, Hyperion (1797–99), is a fictional epistolary autobiography that juxtaposes narration with critical reflection. Returning to Greece after German exile, following his part in the abortive uprising against the occupying Turks (1770), and his failure as both a lover and a revolutionary, Hyperion assumes a hermitic existence, during which he writes his letters. Confronting and commenting on his own past, with all its joy and grief, the narrator undergoes a transformation that culminates in the realisation of his true vocation.Though Hölderlin is now established as a great lyric poet, recognition of his novel as a supreme achievement of European Romanticism has been belated in the Anglophone world. Incorporating the aesthetic evangelism that is a characteristic feature of the age, Hyperion preaches a message of redemption through beauty. The resolution of the contradictions and antinomies raised in the novel is found in the act of articulation itself. To a degree remarkable in a prose work of any length, what it means is inseparable from how it means. In this skilful translation, Gaskill conveys the beautiful music and rhythms of Hölderlin’s language to an English-speaking reader."

This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, the book challenges longstanding teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests.The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key figures, namely the third Earl of Shaftesbury, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Part II explores the ways in which eighteenth-century German thinkers examine aesthetic experience and moral concerns and relate to the work of their British counterparts. The chapters here cover the work of Kant, Moses Mendelssohn, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, and Madame de Staël. Finally, Part III explores the interrelation of science, aesthetics, and a new model of society in the work of Goethe, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Friedrich Hölderlin, and William Hazlitt, among others.This volume develops unique discussions of the rise of aesthetic autonomy in the eighteenth century. In bringing together well-known scholars working on British and German eighteenth-century aesthetics, philosophy, and literature, it will appeal to scholars and advanced students in a range of disciplines who are interested in this topic.
