Synopsis
Excerpt from Goethe's Iphigenie Auf Tauris: With Introduction and Notes
The reason for this popularity is in the remarkable char acter of the work. It is at once a most interesting dramatic presentation of an important mental and moral conflict, and a poem replete with rare and exquisite beauty of thought and expression. Wrought out on the plan of a Greek drama and imbued with the Greek spirit of simplicity and perfection of form, it constitutes an admirable basis for a comparison between the best of ancient history and the best of modern art. But in spite of its simplicity there is perhaps no other drama of Goethe, not even excepting his Faust, which calls for fuller elucidation, if one seeks to attain the highest aim of literary study. The many points of connection between the modern poet and the poets of Greece require attention, as well as the influence of the French drama, which has been so well shown by Hans Morsch, and the relation of the drama to the poet's own life and efforts at the time of its composition.
