The Whole Difference: Selected Writings of Hugo von Hofmannsthal
This volume presents a good cross-section of Hofmannsthal's writings and includes poems, short stories, essays, plays, and Act I of the libretto to DER ROSENKAVALIER.
Hofmannsthal's work reflects the dramatic cultural and social changes taking place in fin-de-siècle Vienna. He often presents vignettes rather than straightforward narrative, and the disjointedness of the text reflects the disjointedness of contemporary society.
To add to the confusion, Hofmannsthal is fond of overwrought allegory and symbolism, and one comes away with the feeling that a good portion of it is completely meaningless, beyond reflecting Hofmannsthal's attempt to discover new meanings in old but now empty social forms.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in fin-de-siècle Vienna or modern culture history.
