Hölderlin's major publication in his lifetime was his novel Hyperion, which was issued in two volumes (1797 and 1799).

 

He also had an influence on the poetry of Hermann Hesse and Paul Celan. (Celan wrote a poem about Hölderlin, called "Tübingen, January" which ends with the word Pallaksch—according to Schwab, Hölderlin's favourite neologism "which sometimes meant Yes, sometimes No".)

Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin (UK: /ˈhɜːldərliːn/, US: /ˈhʌl-/;[1] German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈhœldɐliːn] ⓘ; 20 March 1770 – 7 June 1843)

was a German poet and philosopher.

Described by Norbert von Hellingrath as "the most German of Germans", Hölderlin was a key figure of German Romanticism.

 

Particularly due to his early association with and philosophical influence on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, he was also an important thinker in the development of German Idealism.
