Depicting the literary, erotic, political and clinical trajectory of the Swabian Fr hromantiker Friedrich H lderlin (1770-1843), Solomon's shapeshifting study presents an audacious English remix of Stephan Hermlin's 1970 radio drama Scardanelli, amplifying the complex contexts of H lderlin's psychiatric committal and subsequent discharge into the home of a T bingen carpenter in May 1807. Supplemented by a new translation of Hermlin's memoir essay H lderlin 1944 and the author's interdisciplinary texts and commentaries, this provocative volume furnishes a creative reinterpretation of a contribution to modern audio drama that will speak to playmakers and scholars engaged with German Romanticism, the poetics of translation and the cultural history of radio.
