520 1 $a"Friedrich Holderlin was born on March 20, 1770, in Lauffen on the Neckar a village in the southwestern part of Germany, in an area called Swabia. After the death of his father, his mother remarried in 1774, and the family moved to Nurtingen. In 1802 he became a private tutor in Bordeaux, but returned to Swabia a few months later in a schizophrenic state. He improved to the extent that he could continue his literary activities intermittently until, 1806. After treatment in a clinic in Tubingen he was given to the custody of a carpenter's family named Zimmer, with whom he remained 36 years until his death in 1843, Most of Hplderin's poetry was published in various Gentian periodicals and almanacs, so to speak in the small press publications of his day. His novel Hyperion was published in two parts, in 1797 and 1799. He wrote three uncompleted Versions of a drama relating the Empedocles legend, and published translations of Greek drama and poetry, with some critical essays. Gaining little popularity as a writer, he did not live to see an edition of his collected poems. His work passed into obscurity, until its gradual rediscovery in the early decades of the 20th century."--BOOK JACKET.
