Widener, Houghton Exhibition Commemorates Death of Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke, Austrian poet whose work has been translated into more than twenty languages and who is especially well-known in English, is the subject of a current exhibit in the showcase of Widener and Houghton Libraries. The display commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the poet's death.

Original manuscripts and letters, first editions, translations, and criticisms of Rilke's work have been loaned to the libraries from a private collection in Cambridge.
