Rainer Maria Rilke was an influential German poet whose creative period reigned from late nineteenth century to the first quarter of twentieth century. He was a prolific writer and had several publications under his credit. Apart from poetry, he was renowned for his letters. It is proclaimed that the days he could not write a poem, he wrote a letter. His letters had various addressees including his acquaintances, strangers and even dead people. His notebooks were published as The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, were regarded as a modernist novel. The present paper is an attempt to extract the modernist influences on his artistic creed.
