Item description from seller

246pp. Octavo [22 cm] Decorative gray and gilt marbled spine and boards. Near fine. The spine and boards show light edge wear. In a very good dust jacket, with fading at the spine, folds, and edges. There is a very short closed tear in the top edge. Yale Germanic Studies, 4. From the dust jacket- "Although Rilke was the reverse of a youthful genius, three motifs crucial to his later development- das Kind, die Hand, and das Ding- recur throughout his voluminous early output. Mr. Rolleston examines the role these key words played in the poet's attempt to create new dimensions in a language that had grown stale, focusing especially on their relevance to his developing image of the ideal artist.".
