Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of J. W. Von Goethe, Vol. 1 of 2 Since the last edition of this work was published, many volumes have appeared which it was necessary for me to go through, and from which I have gathered numerous fresh details of interest, though nothing that alters the main outlines of my narrative. Among the new works there have been two regular biographies. The one by M. Mézières, entitled "W. Goethe, Ses oeuvres expliquées par sa vie" (2 vols. Paris, 1872-3), is a barefaced reproduction of my work, with little added except the writer´s own remarks, and an occasional extract from some French book. Yet while thus appropriating my labours, M. Mézières abstains from even the slightest indication of his indebtedness. When he borrows a passage from a French writer he is careful to avow it; he borrows my whole book, and ignores it. The only time he refers to me, is in a note on the Weimar theatricals. Nay, so careful is he to avoid acknowledgment, that having in one place to put forward a somewhat different view of the Frau von Stein from that which he finds in my pages, he attributes the opinion he combats to Carlyle, who has never printed a line on the subject. Yet it is on the strength of such performances that M. Mézières presents himself as a candidate for a seat in the French Academy - and is admitted. Very different is the other biography, "Goethe´s Leben und Schriften, von Karl Godeke" (1 vol. 1874), a compact compilation by one thoroughly conversant with the original sources.
