The Lord Chandos Letter and Other Writings
by Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929) Austrian
Introduction by John Banville • Translated by Joel Rotenberg
In The Lord Chandos Letter, the author conjures a figure from the English Renaissance in order to write about a peculiarly modern crisis of the spirit. In this cryptic, haunting, at times hallucinated document, a young lord writes for the last time to his patron, Sir Francis Bacon, of a mysterious affliction which has left him entirely bereft of words. The book evokes a state of final internal exile, of death in life.
