• In der Bibel des Bildungsbürgers – Büchmanns Zitatenschatz der »Geflügelten Worte« – kommt Goethe auf etwa die gleiche Seitenzahl wie Schiller. In Anbetracht dessen, daß Schiller nur 45 Jahre alt wurde, Goethe dagegen 82, verwundert dieses Verhältnis: Immerhin standen Goethe mehr als doppelt so viele Schaffensjahre zur Verfügung, und der Umfang seines Werks übertrifft dasjenige Schillers um ein Vielfaches. ...

• Goethe's Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.

• Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749–1832.
• Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was (and is) not only the preeminent figure in all of German literature but also—owing to the remarkable broadness and brilliance of his accomplishments—the prime instance of a “universal genius” in the history of European culture.   The New England Transcendentalists extensively discussed and debated Goethe; Ralph Waldo Emerson, in fact, owned the complete 55-volume edition of his works published by J. ...   Transcendental authors also translated Goethe into English—for example: Thomas Carlyle, Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (1824); Margaret Fuller, Torquato Tasso (1834, 1860); and James Freeman Clark, “Orphic Sayings from Goethe” (1836).   Although the Transcendentalists were prone to distrust Goethe’s broad-minded humanism, they nevertheless defended him from the accusations of “immorality” of their more conservative Unitarian peers.   They also appreciated and supported Goethe’s dominant ideal of Bildung, or the complete and harmonious development of the individual, as it enriched and contributed to their understanding of self-culture.
• Goethe has been written about as follows by Octavius Brooks Frothingham, the first historian of American Transcendentalism.
•   Goethe, Richter and Novalis were more persuasive teachers than Kant, Jacobi or Fichte. ...   Goethe and Richter were his heroes: their methods and opinions are of the greatest account with him; and he leaves nothing unexplained of the intellectual foundations on which they builded. ...
•   Such men as Goethe and Schiller cannot exist without effect in any literature or any century; but if one circumstance more than another has contributed to forward their endeavors and introduce that higher tone into the literature of Germany, it has been this philosophical system, to which, in wisely believing its results, or even in wisely denying them, all that was lofty and pure in the genius of poetry or the reason of man so readily allied itself. ...
• The second volume of the “Dial,” July, 1841, opened with a remarkable paper on Goethe, by Margaret Fuller.   The pages of the “Dial” abounded in references to Goethe’s ideas and writings. ...

• Johann Wolfgang Goethe.
• Auch eine heutige Goethe-Lektüre muß sich darum bemühen, seine Schriften der nachwirkenden Vernebelung zu entziehen und im Spannungsfeld von Historizität und Aktualität 'neu' auf sich wirken zu lassen.
• Richtig ist allerdings, daß Johann Wolfgang Goethe, der Bürgersohn aus Frankfurt, der schon in jungen Jahren zum (geadelten) Superminister eines deutschen Ministaates avancierte, auch jenseits seiner Amtspflichten eine außergewöhnliche Breite und Kontinuität von künstlerischen wie wissenschaftlichen Interessen, Aktivitäten und Projekten entfaltete. ... Tatsächlich vollzieht und begleitet Goethe geradezu exemplarisch den Übergang aus einer überalterten Feudalordnung in die moderne bürgerliche Gesellschaft - anfangs mit großem Elan, später mit wachsender Skepsis. ...
• In der deutschen Literaturgeschichte, oder genauer: in der Geschichte der Poetik und Literaturästhetik hat Goethe zweimal epochale Wirkungen gezeitigt: zuerst als der unbestrittene Star der Genieästhetik des Sturm und Drang (Rede zum Shakespeares-Tag, 1772), der auch seinen Vordenker Johann Gottfried Herder aussticht und der deutschen Literatur mit dem Werther-Roman von 1774 erstmals Anschluß ans Weltniveau verschafft. ...

• Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
• A German writer who is universally acknowledged to be one of the giants of world literature, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was perhaps the last European to attempt the mastery and many-sidedness of the great Renaissance personalities: critic, journalist, painter, theatre manager, statesman, educationalist, natural philosopher. ...
• There was in Goethe a natural, if not always painless, swing between poles of existence often thought to be mutually exclusive and an innate commitment to change and process. ...
• Born on August 28, 1749, in Frankfurt am Main, Goethe came of middle-class stock, the Bürgertum that he never ceased to praise as a breeding ground of the finest culture. His father, Johann Kaspar Goethe, was of north German extraction. ... Goethe's mother, Katharine Elisabeth Textor, was the daughter of a Bürgermeister (mayor) of Frankfurt; she opened up to her son valued connections with the patriciate of the free city. Thus even in his heredity Goethe unites those opposing tendencies that have always prevailed in German lands: the intellectual and moral rigour of the north and the easygoing artistic sensuousness of the south. ...
• In his autobiography, Dichtung und Wahrheit ("Poetry and Truth"), Goethe left an unforgettable picture of a happy childhood. ... A love of things English was fostered by friendship with a young clothier from Leeds (Goethe's paternal grandfather was a fashionable tailor) with whom Cornelia, seeing herself as the heroine of a Richardsonian novel, fell hopelessly in love. ...
• In October 1765 Goethe was sent to study law at his father's old University of Leipzig, though he himself would have preferred to read classics in the newly founded university at Göttingen, where English influence prevailed. ... Goethe praised Gellert's lectures as "the foundation of German moral culture" and learned from them invaluable lessons in epistolary style and in social conduct. ... Wieland's work was brought to Goethe's notice by A. ... From Oeser, Goethe learned a love of Greek art and two things that stood him in good stead all his life: to use his eyes and to master the craft of whatever he undertook. ...
• The literary harvest of Goethe's Leipzig period manifested itself in a songbook written in the prevailing Rococo mode--songs praising love and wine in the manner of the Greek poet Anacreon. ... From then on, Rococo was one element in Goethe's repertoire, to be drawn on as occasion demanded. ...
• Goethe's stay in Leipzig was cut short by severe illness, and by the autumn of 1768 he was back home. ... From him Goethe learned the role played by touch, the haptic sense, in the growth of the mind; a new view of the artist as a creator fashioning forms expressive of feeling; a new theory of poetry as the original and most vital language of man; the virtues of a new style, that of the Volkslied (folk song) and the poetry of "primitive" peoples as enshrined in the Bible, the epics of Homer, and the poems attributed (falsely) to Ossian, a 3rd-century Celtic poet. It is this new sense of felt immediacy, and of the plasticity of his linguistic medium, that informs the lyrics Goethe wrote to one of his early loves, Friederike Brion, the pastor's daughter of Sesenheim. ...

• Goethe's (and Euripides') Iphigenia in Tauris.
• Goethe's Iphigenia .
• Goethe took this play and reworked it into a rather amazing celebration of how one pure woman could heal the insanity and evils of the pagan past, symbolized by the dysfunctional House of Atreus as well as by King Thoas, whose notion of hospitality was to sacrifice passing strangers to his god. Goethe's  Iphigenia is a woman of such noble high-mindedness that she refuses to deceive the King. ...

• 2625 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Editorial Preface to the English translation of Goethe’s correspondence with a child by Bettina von Arnim - 1837 .
• Of these letters to Goethe some have said they were so pure a product, so free from any air of literature, as to make the reader feel he had never seen a book before. ...
• Life of Goethe (2nd edition). ...
• Life of Goethe Volume II. ...
• Bettina von Arnim’s own English translation of her book Goethe’s correspondence with a child is a neglected romantic masterpiece of the nineteenth century – and potentially of great interest to scholars of transcendentalism and feminism alike. ... For instance, Emerson engaged in a scintillating correspondence with the young intellectual and poet Caroline Sturgis that was explicitly modelled on Bettina-Goethe; Fuller reviewed and translated passages from the Correspondence; then a generation afterwards Louisa May Alcott found Emerson’s copy of Bettina when browsing in his library, and – in emulation – composed many passionate yet platonic (unsent) letters to the middle-aged philosopher, and made romantic gestures such as leaving anonymous flowers on his doorstep. ...
• The relationship between Bettina and Goethe (as portrayed here) was the original source of interest in this volume (which was published after Goethe’s death to raise money for a memorial monument) - yet this relationship has now receded to distinctly secondary significance. We now read the Correspondence because of Bettina herself, not because of her friendship with Goethe (or his mother). ...
• In the text, Bettina implies that she is thirteen years old on meeting Goethe, whereas she was actually twenty-two. To be more exact, the situation with Goethe was described by Lewes as: ‘A man aged fifty-eight worshipped by a girl who, though a woman in years, looked like a child. ’ He characterizes the problem (for Goethe) as that ‘she gave herself the licence of a child, and would not be treated as a child. ...
• These suspicions seems to have been initiated by George Henry Lewes, the English author of an early definitive biography of Goethe (Life of Goethe. ...
• Lewes describes Bettina as the ‘author of that wild but unveracious book, Goethe’s correspondence with a child’. ...
• Many inaccuracies are documented by Lewes: omission of the fact that Bettina was from 1811 forbidden Goethe’s house following a public argument Bettina had with his wife, inclusion of poems by Goethe that were claimed to have been inspired by Bettina but were actually addressed to other women, the claim that some of Goethe’s letters were manufactured from paraphrases of his poems, and chronological impossibilities such as letters from Goethe’s mother dated after her death. ...
• The purpose of this web publication is to bring Goethe’s correspondence with a child to the attention of both scholars and general readers – and to stimulate the attentions of editors and publishers with the hope that someone may prepare an edition suitable for a broader audience. ...
• My impression is that fully half of the text could be excised without significant loss – in particular Bettina’s repetitious rhapsodizing over Goethe – how wonderful he is, how much she loves him, his neglect of her etc. ... No doubt, for the author herself, this was of prime importance, and to the nineteenth century audience there was the shock of seeing the great Goethe portrayed as cold, calculating, ‘heartless’ – but the books appeal to the modern reader lies in its other qualities which could be brought forward by cutting. ...
