Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Goethe: The Man and His Character Sir J. Seeley complained some years ago that there were too few books about Goethe in English literature. The complaint seems just when we reflect, not merely on the large generosity with which German scholars have recognised the greatness of our own national poet, but on the intensely interesting personality and career of Goethe. We know comparatively little of Shakespeare, and our most devoted research yields only a dim and elusive suggestion of his personality in many phases. His genius breaks on us almost suddenly from clouds of conjectures and legends. It is very different with Goethe. The material for writing a biography of him is exceptionally rich: it has been collected and sifted by three generations of ardent students; and the life and character which this material represents to us in their development are of unusual and unfading human interest. The art of Shakespeare is so objective, so detached, that it would live imperishably if every trace of the artist were obliterated as completely as every trace of Homer, or the Homeric poets.
