Rainer Maria Rilkes Begriff Der Besitzlosen Liebe : Probleme Und Interpretationen, Kenn Allen Johnson

Dissertations and Theses

The topic of this thesis is the problem of love in the work and life of Rainer Maria Rilke, especially his notion of “non-possessive love” which has given rise to a great deal of controversy in the Rilke-Literature.

Rainer Maria Rilkes Musik Der KräFte (Rainer Maria Rilke's Music Of The Forces), Lilly E. Moore

This thesis attempts to analyze Rilke’s relationship to music within the framework of his …
