The book offers fresh, thought-provoking interpretations of all the major works, including novels such as The Sorrows of Young Werther and The Elective Affinities, plays such as Egmont and Iphigenia in Tauris, and Goethe's greatest work, Faust. Alongside these works the incidents of his life are analysed, including his love affairs and his meetings with the great people of the age, such as Napoleon Bonaparte.0Jeremy Adler shows how Goethe's encyclopedic interest in many fields influenced later thinkers such as Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim and Susan Sontag. Goethe has often been called the last Renaissance man. This biography shows that Goethe was in fact the first of the moderns - a maker of modernity. 600 10 $a Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von, $d 1749-1832. 650 0 $a Authors, German $y 18th century $v Biography. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 830 0 $a Critical lives (London, England) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023034.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105040055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A556E5AAD7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
