Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is considered one of the greatest lyric poets of modern Germany. In 1928, Brasch bought an Insel Verlag edition of poems by Rilke. Two years later, in April 1930, he bought a German edition of Rilke’s <em>Letters to a Young Poet</em>. From this edition, he translated passages for the second issue of <em>Phoenix</em>, perhaps the earliest translations of this writer to appear in English. Brasch was enthusiastic about the <em>Letters</em>, noting: ‘Yes they were addressed to me!’ The influence lasted, for Brasch collected and read other Rilke titles, including this Leonard and Virginia Woolf published edition of 1936.

A name given to the resource
Make It New! Modernism & the Medieval Presence. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The phrase 'Make it New' is frequently used in defining a key feature of modernism – its novelty – and is often regarded as influential and foundational in the development of modernist aesthetics. Yet when Ezra Pound employed the phrase for the first time in 1928, modernism’s major works had already appeared, and decades would pass before 'Make It New' gained significance and became a catchphrase and slogan. 'Make It New' was Pound's rendering of a passage in Da Xue, a historical Chinese text. Influenced by Christian belief as well, 'Make It New' became a model of change, of renaissance and renewal, in which the new is not simply a return to the old. Drawing on the work of those who have gone before, Making It New is a process of historical recycling, quotation, and re-arrangement.
In this exhibition, you will see examples of modernist writers Making It New, and it focuses on modernists who re-inscribe medieval elements, including medieval forms, themes, and narratives. It highlights the holdings of the University of Otago Libraries, in particular the treasures of the Charles Brasch collection. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Inspired by medieval art and Gothic architecture, Rainer Maria Rilke composed the Cathedral Cycle for <em>New Poems</em>. Influenced by Auguste Rodin’s sculptures and Paul Cézanne’s still-lifes, Rilke’s poems lyrically recreate architectural objects as verbal ones, revealing the internal vitality and value of the object and conveying to the reader ‘the experience of seeing them anew, intensely and dynamically as they are in their innermost core’ (Marielle Sutherland). In the Cathedral Cycle, Rilke recreates a Gothic cathedral with its architectural and sculptural details: the figure of an angel (with a sun dial), a portal, a rose window, and a capital.
