Classical Centre: Goethe and Weimar 1775-1832 - Softcover
"It draws on a profound knowledge of European literature, its argument is coherent from beginning to end, it is compellingly written."--Times Higher Education Supplement. While in Weimar, Goethe wrote literature which gave his country an artistic and intellectual center and contributed to its subsequent unification. T.J. Reed's study traces this development in the face of social and political difficulties and in the context of German cultural history. Through close analysis, he weaves the careers of individual writers of the age into the broader pattern of historical events.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The literary work which Goethe produced and stimulated in his Weimar years - the greater part of his life - gave to a country which was not yet a nation the centre of artistic and intellectual authority it lacked. T. J. Reed's study traces the way this came about, against what social and politcal difficulties and literary opposition, and places the results in the larger context of German cultural history. The historical narrative is built up from a precise analysisof the major (and many minor) texts of the period, and weaves individual writers' careers persuasively into the broader pattern. The literary work which Goethe produced in his Weimar years gave to a country which was not yet a nation the centre of artistic and intellectual authority it lacked. T.J. Reed's study traces the way this came about. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
