This is the fifth volume in a six-volume translation of the major writings of Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911), a philosopher and historian of culture who has had a significant, and continuing, influence on twentieth-century Continental philosophy and in a broad range of scholarly disciplines. In addition to his landmark works on the theories of history and the human sciences, Dilthey made important contributions to hermeneutics and phenomenology, aesthetics, psychology, and the methodology of the social sciences.
This volume presents Dilthey's principal writings on aesthetics and the philosophical understanding of poetry, as well as representative essays of literary criticism. The essay "The Imagination of the Poet" (also known as his Poetics) is his most sustained attempt to examine the philosophical bearings of literature in relation to psychological and historical theory. Also included are "The Three Epochs of Modern Aesthetics and its Present Task," "Fragments for a Poetics," and two final essays discussing Goethe and Hölderlin. The latter are drawn from Das Erlebnis und die Dichtung, a volume that was acclaimed on publication as a classic of literary criticism and that continues to be a model for the geistesgeschichtliche approach to literary history.

Wilhelm Dilthey: Selected Works, Volume V: Poetry and Experience
This is a a particularly stodgy-looking volume--the hardcover has a little profile cameo of dilthey and is grey. inside there are 4 main texts written between 1887-1910--what holds them together is dilthey's project of historicizing aesthetics in general, poetics in particular (relativizing the traditional categories, making the methodology more inductive) and interest in making things as a psycho-social process.
not surprisingly, dilthey's work in this area is also a product of its situation (whence the emphasis on genius in the earlier texts and on the always irritating goethe/holderin nexus of "great germanic poetry" the "highest expression of the german spirit" blah blah blah in the later)...
poetry linked to process, to forming, to generating representation not in the sense of image-of but more in the sense of pattern (networks of associations/distinctions, valences, etc), so not an Event in the old-school poetry-as-Oracular sense but an event in the sense of traces of the processes of bringing-into-relation---but this presupposes an equivalence between poetry as a surface and perception that tends to efface technique.
on the other hand, dilthey worries the problem of communication--if there is something of an event-status to poetry, that event refers mostly to the person doing the writing: so what links the experience of poet to that of reader and how does this linkage work? which brings technique back in again. turn of the century academic types of technique, of course--newer versions could run in other directions.
dilthey probably lay as much behind benjamin as does marx, if you think about it.
anyway-->
this is perhaps best approached from one of two directions: either knit into a broader reading of dilthey's other writing (which would enable controlling for the terminological looseness and emphasis on emotion which is of a piece with it in favor of the more rigorous frames in his historical/hermeneutics)
or as material to be cut up.
