>In the early 1800s, Germany had 280 principalities. One of them Weirmar, ruled by a Duke, became the cultural center for Germany and later for Europe. The Weimar Republic started the movement 'Sturm und Drang' (Romantic movement) which launched European Romanticism. Literary figures in Europe like Byron in England, Pushkin in Russia and others followed this movement. Weimar became the center for Art, Music, and Literature.</P>
>Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is widely recognized as the greatest writer of the German tradition. The romantic period in Germany of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is known as the age of Goethe.</P></TD></TR></TABLE>His stature derives from a multiple of extraordinary qualities: his literary achievements as a lyric poet, novelist and dramatist; his significant contributions as a scientist (geologist, botanist, anatomist, physicist); as a critic and theorist of literature and of art; as a Statesman (asked by the Weimar Duke to be the Minister of State).He was such an imposing personality that for the last thirty years of his life, he was Germany's greatest cultural monument, serving as an object of pilgrimage from all of Europe and even from the United States.
>The continuing fascination with his works, especially with Faust confirms his position as one of the most important writers of the European tradition.</P>
>Goethe started work on his Faust in the early 1770s. The period of time between his first experiments and the final touches spans more than 60 years. This long companionship and persistent recurrence to the task from youth to old age have made it in a unique way the record of Goethe's personality in all its richness and diversity.</P>
>This powerful work can be viewed as a depiction of the personal journey of Faust towards enlightenment. He makes a bet with the devil that he will be allowed to live as long as the devil fails to satisfy his striving for transcendence. Most significantly, Goethe makes the second half of part I into a love tragedy. Faust seduces Marguerite (Gretchen), an innocent young girl who embodies for him the transcendent ideal that he seeks.</P>
>At the end of part II, Faust spends his old age reclaiming land from the sea. Satisfied that he is working for the benefit of humanity, he renounces magic and dies. Divine Grace, however, saves his soul, which is shown ascending in pursuit of an ever receding ideal embodied once more in Marguerite das Ewig-Weibliche (the eternal feminine).</P>
>The autobiography of Goethe describes one of his emotional entanglements. In Wetzlar in 1772 he met Charlotte (Lotte) Buff and fell in love with her before discovering she was engaged to his friend, Johann George Cristian Kestner.</P>
>The period 1771 to 1775 contains the first flowering of Goethe's genius. His most famous work is Die Leiden des jungen Werther (The Surrows of Werther).</P>
>Young Werther traces in a series of letters written to a friend, the course of his love for Lotte, who is already engaged to a solid young Officer. Mislead by the warmth of her friendship, but most of all by his own intense imagination -- which project upon Lotte all the ideals garnered from his reading of Homer, Goldsmith and Ossian Werther gradually looses touch with the world around him and finally shoots himself. In this paradigmatic novel of eighteenth century sensibility Goethe describes the first romantic love associated with emotion and passion.</P>| 欢迎光临 钢笔论坛 (https://www.penbbs.com/) | Powered by Discuz!
