Georg Trakl und die literarische Moderne

The contributorsanalyze whether and in what sense there is an indissoluble interdependence between 'beauty' and 'incomprehensibility' in Trakl's work and in modern poetry in general. Does the theorem of 'incomprehensibility' resolves itself in the decipherment of the underlying structures and generates poetic 'beauty' through the revealed structures, i.e. through the assigned model of explication itself? Depending on the various methodological approaches, this problem is resolved in different ways. The collection intends to enrich Trakl studies with new insights and contribute to a more differentiated understanding of the specific characteristics of Trakl's lyric poetry using a variety of perspectives.
