The present volume of Rilke's letters covers the years from the completion of The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge to Rilke's death in December 1926, nearly five years after he had written the Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus, his last major works. This period of Rilke's life covers the years before the First World War when he traveled extensively; the wartime period; the search, in Switzerland, for congenial surroundings in which to complete the Elegies; and the end of the quest, Muzot, where he spent the remainder of his life. --W.W.
