Synopsis

Art historian and folklore Wilhelm Fraenger (1890-1964) reweights in Eurydice the roles of man and woman in the Orpheus myth. His anthology, published in bibliophile presentation in 1933, presents poetic texts spanning six centuries in which poets lament the loss of beloved women to make them immortal in this way. Highlighted and exposed to the end of the anthology is Rilke's editing, which marks the beginning of a new reading of ancient myth in so far as the woman no longer appears as an object of male art, but as a subject of her own. Fraenger published Eurydice in the spring of 1933, shortly after his dismissal as head of the Mannheim Palace Library. The poem reign, which starts with Dante and Petrarca via Shakespeare, Goethe and Hölderlin to Rudolf Alexander Schröder, is also a commitment to the spirit of Europe and thus an anti-fascist document that lets the emigrants enter the series of mourned women of European high literature. Ralf Georg Czapla and Christof Baier have reissued Fraengers Eurydice, provided with an introduction and a spiritual history commentary. Sandra Strunz illuminates the topicality of the band from a theatrical perspective.
