Das Schweigen und Verschweigen in Dichtungen

This literary analysis, first published in 1895, explores the use of silence and omission in poetry. By examining works by German poets such as Goethe, Schiller, and Heine, Hense argues that what is left unsaid can be just as significant as what is expressed overtly. This book will appeal to scholars of German literature and those interested in the philosophical underpinnings of poetic language.
