Bøger af George Henry Lewes

Divided into seven books entailing Goethe's life from his birth in 1749 to his death in 1832. Considerable parts of the book are dedicated to analyses and criticisms of Goethe's works and scientific writings. A partial table of contents is as follows: early experiences; Leipsic student; art studies; Herder and Frederika; Gotz von Berlichingen; Wetzlar; Werther; Wiemar; Frau von Stein; Italy; Egmont and Tasso; the poet as a man of science; Goethe and Schiller; Faust; Goethe's wife; politics and religion.

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Lewes' 1855 biography (reissued here in the second, 1858 edition) paints a balanced picture of this great German intellectual. Drawing on personal letters and recollections provided by Goethe's colleagues, friends and family, Lewes probes the connections between Goethe's life and work, and highlights the continuing relevance of his thought.
