Synopsis
Faust: A Dramatic Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe chronicles the restless scholar Faust and his pact with Mephistopheles. Framed by a Prologue in Heaven and a Prologue in the Theatre, the drama follows Faust through temptations, a dangerous liaison with Gretchen (Margaret), and a life of worldly experience sought to exhaust all meaning from existence. Mephistopheles governs the journey, offering wealth, power, and sensation, while Faust’s inner turmoil—between intellect and feeling, despair and hope—drives the action across stark landscapes, the Witch’s Kitchen, Walpurgis Night, and contemplative interludes. Central are questions of freedom, responsibility, and the limits of knowledge, culminating in tragedy for Gretchen and a contested, redemptive end for Faust. The poem fuses philosophy, lyricism, and drama to explore the real and the ideal, the mortal and the divine. This edition presents Hayward’s prose translation with notes that illuminate Goethe’s text, historical reception, and enduring influence on world literature.
