La forma epistolare nella scrittura critica di Rainer Maria Rilke: la lettera da imago animae a sachliches Sagen
Abstract
The essay aims at investigating the epistolary form in Rilke’s critical
writing and focuses in particular on two collections, the Briefe an einen
jungen Dichter and the Briefe über Cézanne, showing how, in the
former, the letters still retain the formal and stylistic features of private
correspondence, proving to be first and foremost imago animae and
self-confession, while in the latter they translate into the epistolary
form that sachliches Sagen learnt from Cezanne’s painting and product
of his «unwählerisches Schauen», which has already been masterfully
achieved in poetry in the Dinggedichte.
