Exploring the relationship between poetry and music in the context of the Holocaust, this book delves into aesthetic self-reflection and the reconfiguration of their mutual mirroring, a significant theme in German Romanticism. It examines how these art forms can maintain their relevance and meaning in the aftermath of the Second World War, focusing specifically on the works of Paul Celan. Axel Englund's analysis provides a fresh perspective on the intersection of literature and music in a historical context marked by profound trauma.
