Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Hermann Und Dorothea: With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary To make easy and enjoyable the early reading of the poem for its own sake is the aim 'of this edition. It leaves to later study the details of the great author's life and poetic development, and does not endeavor through the poem to teach the history of the German language or of German literature. For this book, therefore, the editor believes that a place is open. Both Introduction and Notes are designed to be concise and practical, while to the Vocabulary most careful attention and elaboration have been given, in order to make it complete, accurate, and thoroughly helpful. The publishers are responsible for the posi tion of the Notes, which in accordance with their ear lier desire were designed by the editor to be footnotes on the pages of the Text. It has seemed advisable to make this change in response to the earnest solicita tions of many teachers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
