Description
The Essential Goethe offers unparalleled access to the works of one of history's greatest writers. This comprehensive collection brings together Goethe's writings in English for the first time, covering his work as playwright, poet, novelist, and autobiographer. The volume features a range of lesser-known literary works alongside famous pieces like Faust Part I and lyric poems. In addition to these well-known works, The Essential Goethe includes important dramas such as Egmont, Iphigenia in Tauris, and Torquato Tasso, as well as the foundational novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. The collection also offers a selection of Goethe's essays on art, philosophy, and science, providing insight into the thought of a polymath. This edition is drawn from Princeton's authoritative twelve-volume Goethe edition, with translations by scholars that are highly readable and reliable. An extensive introduction to Goethe's life and works by volume editor Matthew Bell complements the collection, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring the life and work of this literary giant.
