Hannah Vandegrift Eldridge is Associate Professor of German in the Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic+ at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She works on German literature from the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries, especially lyric poetry, philosophy, and prosody. Her first book, Lyric Orientations: Hölderlin, Rilke, and the Poetics of Community appeared with Cornell University Press in 2015 and a co-edited volume (with Luke Fischer), Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus: Critical and Philosophical Perspectives, was published by Oxford University Press in 2019. She has published articles on Hölderlin, Rilke, Cavell, Wittgenstein, Klopstock, Nietzsche, and Grünbein.

Eldridge succeeds in demonstrating how poetry works and why it matters today, and she is convincing in arguing that a widely interdisciplinary approach, including psychological and neurological studies, is indicated.
