Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Longfellow´s Golden Legend and Goethe´s Faust The obvious literary descent of The Golden Legend from Hartmann´s Middle High German epic Der arme Heinrich was confirmed by Longfellow. No direct acknowledgment is made for Faust, which figures pre-eminently among sources exhaustively listed by Friedrich Münzner, Paul Morin, and others, but an affinity was noted as early as 1853. Yet the relationship, generally assumed and partially indicated (the most incisive comparisons being those of Thomas Moody Campbell and James Taft Hatfield), still awaits definitive treatment. The present study seeks to determine the extent of Faustian elements in Longfellow´s The Golden Legend, whether patent borrowings or features suggesting spiritual kinship with Goethe´s Lebenswerk. Essential facts of previous investigations are included for completeness and re-examination, being supplemented by whatever new data seems pertinent. Divergencies between Longfellow and Hartmann need little emphasis here; they have been conclusively set forth by Alexander Baumgartner, Campbell, John T. Krumpelmann, et al. The researches of Orie W. Long, Hatfield, and Lawrance R. Thompson make readily available the fascinating story of Longfellow´s interest in Germany and its literature (particularly Goethe), a theme not sufficiently evident from the Life, by the poet´s brother Samuel. Only passing allusion can be made to the determinative importance of Goethe for Longfellow - not in the usual literary sense, but as a dominant force in the shaping of his life and poetry in that crucial period between the death of his first wife and his marriage to Frances Elizabeth Appleton, then as an inspiration throughout his mature years. If Goethe "claimed a chief and ever-growing interest" on Longfellow´s part, the same is notably true of Faust. The youthful prose work Outre-Mer (1833) contains two references, while there are nine citations from, or allusions to, Faust in the Wilhelm Meister-like novel Hyperion, published in 1839 - the very year to which The Golden Legend owes its conception. During his London visit of 1835, Longfellow became acquainted with the Carlyles and Abraham Hayward, an early translator of Faust.
