Synopsis
Goethe: His Life And Works : An Essay by George Henry Calvert. This 19th-century biographical study presents Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as a unified figure: poet, scientist, administrator, and moral thinker. Calvert surveys Goethe's life from his early years in Frankfurt and Leipzig to his long Weimar years, highlighting his practical work as a statesman, his busy engagement with science and botany, and his lifelong quest for self-culture. The work blends biography with literary criticism, tracing Goethe’s major works — from Werther and Egmont to Wilhelm Meister and Faust — and examining how personal experience, friendship (with Schiller, Zelter, Herder) and loves (Gretchen, Frau von Stein, Christiane Vulpius) shaped his art. It also discusses Goethe’s stance on poetry and science, his method of observation and induction, and his influence on later generations. The book divides into sections such as Weimar and Italy, Poetry and Science, Schiller, Friendships, Loves, Faust, and Conclusion, presenting a portrait meant to illuminate the whole man through the many facets of his life and work.
