Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Goethe When we come to know the real facts, we see that the Auto biography does not so much misstate as understate we, who can read between the lines, perceive that it errs more from want of sharpness of relief and precision of detail than from positive misrepresentation. Controlled by contemporary evi dence, it furnishes one great source for the story of the early years; and I greatly regret there is not more contemporary evidence to furnish more details.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johann Wolfgang Goethe His short biography of Goethe is intended to deal rather with the author's life than with his works. As, however, the works of Goethe are perhaps more intimately bound up with his life than is the case with any other of the world's greatest writers, being, as he himself declared, fragments of a great confession, his writings, and especially the more directly auto biographical among them, form one of our chief sources of information concerning his life, and of elucidation of the motives that govern it. The length of the different sections is not regulated by the number of years comprised, but is deter mined rather by the degree of external movement and interest of the several periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Goethe Goethe, who desire precision and fulness of detail, who want a book to refer to and find in. No student of Goethe, writes Professor Dowden,1 can afford to neglect Diintzer; no fair-minded person can view the book with any feelings but those of respect and gratitude. Here is a map provided with the aid of which we can go over the ground for ourselves and possess a sense of security - a map which enables us at any point of the perplexing expedition to find our bearings, if we only have a little patience, and to ascertain precisely what lies before us and what be hind. In other words, Professor Duntzer has written for those who mean to take Goethe gravely, and in their judgment he will find his reward. And perhaps many not disposed to take Goethe gravely hitherto, will find their hearts changed towards him when they read how well he lived - not the life of a god in Olympus, as is often absurdly said, but the common place life of daily duty, - how good he was to his friends, how diligent in a round of tiresome labours alien to his nature, how compassionate to the suffering and the poor, how free from bitterness towards the foes without, how implacable towards the baffling foes within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Goethe's Life It has been represented to me, by my friend the publisher, that there are many readers who may feel considerable interest in the story of a great poet's life and aims, though they are not greatly attracted by criticisms and details in relation to works written in a foreign language and but partially accessible through translations. In compliance with the suggestion, I have detached from my Life of Goethe a continuous narrative, which will present the outward events of an ever-memorable career, and indicate the leading characteristics of an immortal genius. The present volume is in no sense intended to replace the original Biography, which will probably continue to have the greater interest for readers whose tastes and acquirements lie in the direction of German literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Johann Wolfgang Goethe When Goethe was in his sixth year, his grandmother died and soon afterwards his father carried out a plan he had long cherished, that Of rebuilding the house to suit the wants Of his family. The work was carefully superintended by the elder Goethe himself, and the house was transformed to a handsome, convenient dwelling, with well-lighted rooms tastefully decorated. He had an excellent collection Of books, and they were now properly arranged in his study. His pictures, most Of which were by Frankfort artists, were also brought together in a room fitted up for their reception, and the walls of the passages were adorned with maps and engravings. He had brought back with him from Italy many fine speci mens of Venetian glass, bronzes, ancient weapons, and other artistic objects. In the new house these treasures were put in cabinets, and no pains were spared to secure that they should be effectively displayed. A room on the top floor, looking out upon the street, was set apart for Goethe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Goethe and the Twentieth Century Classic Reprint written by John George Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe and the Twentieth Century Goethe is one of those chameleon-like personalities that change in value and meaning from generation to generation. Homer, Dante, Shakespeare have been given, once and for all, their place in the world's literature, and what we think about them to-day is not materially different from what our forefathers thought; but then those poets are, in comparison, infinitely far away from us; Goethe still stands too near. We must revise our opinion of him from time to time: keep, as it were, a check. on the pulse of our intellectual attitude to him. And this revision of judgment is something which we must do for ourselves. Germany, for the past five and twenty years at least, has been assiduously remoulding her literary opinions, and has progressed very far indeed from the old Hegelian self satisfaction with which she established the hierarchy of her classical poets about the middle of the past century. But we obviously cannot rely on Germany for our opinions of Goethe, any more than Germany can turn to us to find what she has to think about English poets.

Download or read book Life of Goethe Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Peter Hume Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Goethe, Vol. 1 Professor Hume Brown died in the winter of 1918. He had nearly completed his Life of Goethe. The earlier part, The Youth of Goethe, had already been published in 1913. The larger part, however, to which I have given the title The Later Years of Goethe, existed only in manuscript. But it was ready to be revised for the press, with the exception of Chapter XXIII., in which the author intended to deal with the Second Part of Faust. Professor Hume Brown died before he could touch this, and all that he left of material consisted of a few notes. I have ventured, however, to write and insert this Chapter as it now appears. I felt justified in doing so, even though I could not be sure that he might not have expressed what it contains in a somewhat different fashion. For he and I had talked over the poem during many years, and we had, both of us, studied it fairly closely. It was our practice to go to Germany annually to collect materials for a life of Goethe, and this we had done in each year from 1898 to 1912 inclusive. We spent our time mainly in Weimar, Ilmenau, Jena, Wetzlar and Gottingen, and we had accumulated a good deal of material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth of Goethe It was said of Goethe in his latest years that the world would come to believe that there had been, not one, but many Goethes and, as we follow him through the various stages of his youth, we receive the same impression. It results from this manifold ness of his nature that he defies every attempt to formulate his characteristics at any period of his life. In the present study of him the object has been to let his own words and actions speak for themselves any conclusions that may be suggested, the reader will thus have it in his own power to check.

Download or read book The Life of Goethe Vol 3 written by Albert Bielschowsky and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Goethe, Vol. 3: 1815-1832, From the Congress of Vienna to the Poet's Death In the preface to the first volume I promised to insert here a statement of what was added to Bielschowsky's unfinished manuscript to make his biography of Goethe complete. Long before it became probable that he might not be spared to complete his great task he had cherished the wish that a special discussion of Goethe as a scientist might be contributed by some one especially well versed in that phase of the poet's activity. This wish is fulfilled in the chapter entitled "The Naturalist" (iii., 81-134), which was written by Professor S. Kalischer of Berlin. Professor Max Friedlander of Berlin added the note bearing the heading "Goethe's Poems Set to Music" (pp. 374-376). The most extensive additions were made by Professor Theobald Ziegler of Strasburg, who finished the chapter on Faust (beginning in the middle of p. 271) and wrote the concluding chapter (pp. 359-369), beside inserting an account of Goethe's attitude toward romanticism (pp. 143-149), and his relation to the philosophers Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel (ii., 179-181). The notes signed "Z" are also by him. Professors Imelmann and Roethe of Berlin revised Bielschowsky's manuscript from the point of view of style, and Dr. Franz Leppmann of Berlin lent the German publisher other assistance in bringing out the finished work. In the preparation of the index of the translation it has seemed best to work independently of that of the original. I have included among the topics the various subjects in which Goethe was interested and the first line of each passage of German verse cited in the text, except extracts from a work under consideration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe: The Man and His Character Goethe still treads the stage of the world in the character of Faust, but the true story of his life is far more attractive than the melodramatic mutila tion of his great tragedy which is annually presented in the theatres of every land. We have from his own hand a minute and masterly description of the boyhood of a genius; we behold, in his narrative and his impulsive letters, the exquisitely sensitive youth awakening in a world which is a hundred years too old for him, and, while conscious of a mighty task, wavering time after time between the valleys of love and the hills of learning; we find his developed nature so many-sided that he attracts into his life nearly every person of consequence in his age, and reflects in his art every spasm of its travail for the birth of the new world; and even in his later years we see his genius linked, in rare association, with a passion that holds him to the common rank of men. The greatest literary artist since Shakespeare, and no inconspicuous figure in the scientific culture of the new world, he is, never theless, so profoundly human that almost every chapter in his career is a romantic love-story.
