'One of the most influential literary works of the early nineteenth century.' The Independent 'To read Wilhelm Meister for the first time is an enviable and almost unique sensation.' Henry James 'All the great European modernists are in his dept.' TLS
Goethe (1749 - 1832) was one of the greatest German writers and the leader of the Weimar Classicism movement. Most famous for his seminal poetic drama, Faust, and his novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, Goethe was also a poet, theologian, philosopher and scientist - one of the world's last great polymaths.
