|  | Goethe's Faust and European Epic: Forgetting the Future (Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture)
Publication Date: March 29, 2007| ISBN-10: 1571133445 | ISBN-13: 978-1571133441| Edition: First Edition Goethe has long been enshrined as the greatest German poet, but his admirers have always been uneasy with the idea that he did not produce a great epic poem.

A study of its reception-history facilitates novel and more profitable ways of reading. He illustrates his approach with exemplary readings of Virgil, Ovid, Horace and ...

A society based largely on agriculture, traditional values, and social hierarchies was transformed into one both stimulated and unsettled by unprecedented growth in science, technology, industry, urbanization and population, and profound questioning of politics, morality, and religion. Its writers energetically revealed their responses to the times and the effect that such a rapidly changing world had upon them. This collection of so...
