Faust: A Dramatic Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This edition presents Goethe's drama as an English prose translation with extensive notes. The English version is rendered by A. Hayward, Esq., and the volume includes prefatory materials, notes, and adaptations from later scholarship, reflecting the translation's 19th-century American reception and subsequent editorial commentary by Lowell, Bixby, and Whiting. The work comprises the famous Prologues (Prologue in Heaven and Prologue for the Theatre), Faust's study, his pact with Mephistopheles, and the ensuing episodes of seduction, moral conflict, and tragic consequence. The First Part depicts Faust’s striving, Gretchen’s ruin, and the moral reckoning that follows; the Second Part expands the myth through classical allegories, heroism, and the universal questions of existence, knowledge, and salvation. The edition thus offers Goethe’s multifaceted vision of ambition, temptation, and redemption in an accessible prose form, accompanied by scholarly apparatus intended to illuminate the poem’s complex allusions and historical reception.
