Beschrijving
Goethe created a body of poetry that is unsurpassed in lucidity of speech and imagery and in instinct for melody and rhythm. The founder of the poetry of experience, he reintroduced intimacy to the public world, and his poems had something to offer every person. Nonetheless, Goethe the poet remains relatively unknown to English-speaking audiences, partly because of the difficulties his poetry has posed to translators. This volume contains translations, side by side with the German originals, of Goethe's major works--all prepared by eminent American and English writers, and all testifying to the poet's genius.
