Life of Goethe, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Life of Goethe, Vol. 1 The book here placed before English readers is an accurate and copious account of the personal circumstance of Goethe's life. It is not the ideal Life of Goethe yet to come. The work of another generation of ardent Goethe-scholars must be done before this great book can be written. Even then Professor Düntzer's book will continue to have its value. But there can be no doubt of its great worth at present as one of the needful forerunners of the ideal Life. Professor Düntzer is the veteran of Goethe study in Germany. Jests about 3 the voluminousness of his works and the minuteness of his criticism are not infrequent. But I do not think that the persons who jest can really be aware of the great services of the man. All his life he has toiled faithfully to disperse the mist of hearsay, of perverse interpretation, of slanderous error, which clung round the memory of Goethe.
