23. ZUM HÖLDERLINBILD IN DER BUNDESREPUBLIK UND DER DDR : Anhand ausgewählter Beispiele der produktiven Hölderlin-Rezeption
Sammanfattning : The dissertation examines from a non-German and politically independent position the view of Hölderlin in the literary productive reception in the Federal Republic and the GDR during the years 1949-1981, given the assumption of a Hölderlin renaissance at the end of the 1960s and during the 1970s.
