Hölderlin's Madness: Chronicle of a Dwelling Life 1806–1843 (Italian: La follia di Hölderlin. Cronaca di una follia abitante (1806–1843)) is a 2021 book by the Italian writer Giorgio Agamben. It is about the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, focusing on the second half of his life, which he spent isolated in a tower in Tübingen. The book is a chronicle rather than a history book, which means it recounts what sources say without trying to verify their claims. Seagull Books published the English translation by Alta L. Price in 2023.
