Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Goethe It was my desire in putting this little work before the public to leave the great poet to state his own case, and to make that impression on the unbiassed reader which words of true wisdom flowing into the soul, like healthy breezes into free lungs, natu rally make. But I soon became aware that, in the case of Goethe, few unbiassed readers were likely to be found on this Side of the Channel; and I could not conceal from myself the fact that the good impression to be made by the Wise words of the preacher might be seriously neutralised by the bad impression they entertained of his character. If it has been the good fortune of some great men to have had their virtues brought forward into the foreground, studiously dressed out and magnified, while their vices are cast into the shade and for.

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.

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 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Goethe, Vol. 2 Though on his return to Weimar Goethe had been relieved of the burden of his official duties, his attachment to the Court still involved a sacrifice of time which he would have preferred to give to the special pursuits in which he was interested. During the years 1790 - 3 he spent more than a year away from Weimar and in conditions which were not always congenial, although they brought their own profit to himself and to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Goethe, Vol. 1 The book here placed before English readers is an accurate and copious account of the personal circumstance of Goethe's life. It is not the ideal Life of Goethe yet to come. The work of another generation of ardent Goethe-scholars must be done before this great book can be written. Even then Professor Duntzer's book will continue to have its value. But there can be no doubt of its great worth at present as one of the needful forerunners of the ideal Life. Professor Duntzer is the veteran of Goethe study in Germany. Jests about 3 the voluminousness of his works and the minuteness of his criticism are not infrequent. But I do not think that the persons who jest can really be aware of the great services of the man. All his life he has toiled faithfully to disperse the mist of hearsay, of perverse interpretation, of slanderous error, which clung round the memory of Goethe.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Dichtung Und Wahrheit: The First 4 Books From whatever point Of view Div/dung zmd Walzrlm't may be considered, there seems full reason to assign to the work a foremost rank among the prose writings of Goethe. It com bines, in fact, all the advantages which the various stages of life are capable of imparting to an author's writings. Goethe began to pen his Autobiography when he was on the threshold of old age, and consequently it bears throughout the stamp of maturity and judicial calm. It is, besides, distinguished by a spirit of manliness and dignity which is a distinctive character istic Of the narrative, alike in its serious and in its playful topics; while the brightness of youth is reflected in many a passage Of tender feeling and genial affection. And it is this blending together of the various elements of sober age, of life's earnest prime and of stormy youth, which lends a peculiar charm to Goethe's Autobiography.
