Review
"Lively and detailed." --Michael Hofmann, New York Times Book Review
"What Freedman's book does, and more thoroughly than any of the other biographies, is to retell Rilke's story meticulously and with a welcome attention to the circumambient social and political circumstances." --New Republic
"An extraordinary accomplishment--a scrupulous, attentive, and beautifully written account of the life and work of one of this century's greatest, yet most elusive poets." --Mark Strand
