Titolo Hugo von Hofmannsthal: "Ballade des äußeren Lebens". Una lettura poetologica Periodico Strumenti critici Anno: 2012 - Volume: 0 - Fascicolo: 1 - Pagina iniziale: 3 - Pagina finale: 18
Through a philological-stylistic analysis, the article means to focus the predominance of the poetic discourse in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's poetry; in particular, it means to discuss the estrangement effect produced by the poetic word if compared to the word of everyday communication. By this point of view, Hofmannstahl's poetry anticipates in a sense certain reflections which would be produced by Russian formalists.
