"Reimagining the literary, epistolary, political and erotic life-drama of the Swabian poet Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843) that reached its tragic climax with his clinical committal and subsequent discharge into the home of a local carpenter in Tübingen in May 1807, this work presents an original English adaptation of Stephan Hermlin's 1970 radio play Scardanelli. Further enhanced by a new translation of Hermlin's memoir essay 'Hölderlin, 1944' and the author's own literary supplements, this groundbreaking cross-disciplinary work presents a creative reinterpretation of a significant contribution to modern audio drama that will speak to scholars, poets and dramatists operating across the Anglo-German humanities, literary translation and cultural studies"-- Provided by publisher.
