Excerpt from Goethe's Poems: Selected and Edited With Introduction and Notes
Goethe's minor poems, the field in which he is greatest, may be best appreciated and enjoyed, when the circumstances which called them forth are known. They are so much a part of his life that they should be studied in connection with it. His lyrics, ballads, and other short productions in verse, in which sense the word poems is used here, are bound up with his own emotions and experiences in a very unusual degree.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of Goethe's lyrical works written in the years 1765â"1816. Many of the poems reflect the author's personal life and experiences, particularly his early years in Frankfurt. Although often addressed to specific friends and acquaintances, they invite a universal reading and are accessible to all. The poems variously explore themes of love and loss, joy and despair, and nature and art. Their naà ve and emotive style typifies the era of Sturm und Drang and would shape the development of Romanticism in Germany.
