Goethe, J: Goethes Hermann Und Dorothea - Goethe

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Goethes Hermann Und Dorothea: With an Introduction, Commentary, Etc It remains for me to make a few acknowledgments. I have derived not a little assistance from Miss Frothing ham's excellent translation. It is pervaded with good sense and with delicate sympathy with the original. But I am indebted chie?y to the Aesthetische and. Historische Einleitung eu H?rmarm and Dorothea, by Cholevius, an elaborate work evincing careful study but betraying here and there touches of pedantry. It contains everything that one need know, and much that one can afford to skip. The best illustrations are those by v. Ramberg. They are not only works of art in themselves, but they reproduce perfectly the spirit and the atsphere of the poem. By the side of them, Kaulbach's illus trations willd appear tainted with coarseness and man nerism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
