The correspondence between Rilke and Freud
Reading and Talk
The correspondence between Rainer Maria Rilke and Sigmund Freud, published for the first time in SINN UND FORM 1/2025, is short but extremely interesting. When the two wrote to each other in Vienna in 1916, they discussed the war as a “monster” and Rilke’s intention to “go through” his emotional upheavals “alone”.
The talk between editor Ulrich von Bülow and Matthias Weichelt, Editor-in-chief of SINN UND FORM, will also focus on the estate acquired by the Marbach Literature Archive from Rilke’s family.
