Faustus From the German of Goethe Translated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Major Work Of German Literature, Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe's Faust (1808), Was Translated Into English By One Of Britain's Most Capable Mediators Of German Literature And Philosophy, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Goethe Himself Twice Referred To Coleridge's Translation Of His Faust. Because His Translation Reveals Revisions And Reworkings Of Coleridge's Earlier Works, His Faust Contributes Significantly To The Understanding Of Coleridge's Entire Oeuvre. This Edition Of Coleridge's Translation Provides The Textual And Documentary Evidence Of His Authorship, And Presents His Work In The Context Of Other Contemporary Efforts At Translating Goethe's Faust.--book Jacket.
