Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Goethe´s Hermann and Dorothea: Translated Into English Hexameter Verse In 1796, when Goethe wrote the greater part of this poem, he was in his forty-eighth year. Ever the favoured child of fortune, happy in all this world has to bestow, he had for twenty-two years past found in the Grand Duke of Weimar a kind and liberal patron, and lately in Schiller, the chief of all blessings, - a congenial and appreciative friend. It is impossible to over-estimate the advantages which resulted to themselves, and the world of literature, from the co-operation of these two master minds. Enough for us that soon after their intimacy had been established, both Goethe and Schiller, who had been wandering too far into the regions of mysticism and romance to be able to find expression in song, felt themselves once more inspired. Goethe, who was always too much of a realist, and threatened to become a confirmed dilettante, finished off, under his friend´s critical eye, his "tedious and planless" novel of Wilhelm Meister; and "Hermann and Dorothea" and "Wallenstein" were the precious fruits of that spring that was revivifying the hearts of the two friends, and was to usher in a new era for German national literature. But if we owe the idyllic calm and cheerfulness of the poem to Goethe´s happy social circumstances, and its purity and simplicity to the effect of Schiller´s mind upon his, there were other influences at work to which may be attributed its spirited and manly style.
