New articles on topics spanning the Age of Goethe, with a special section of fresh views of Goethe’s Faust.
The
Goethe Yearbook is a publication of the Goethe Society of North America, publishing original English-language contributions to the understanding of Goethe and other authors of the
Goethezeit, while also welcomingcontributions from scholars around the world.
Goethe Yearbook 17 covers the full range of the era, from Karl Guthke’s essay on the early Lessing to Peter Höyng’s on Grillparzer. Notable is a special section, co-editedby Clark Muenzer and Karin Schutjer, that samples some of the exciting new work presented at the Goethe Society conference in November 2008: 200 years after the publication of
Faust I, eight essays offer fresh views of this epic masterpiece, often through novel and surprising connections. Authors link for example Faust’s final ascension and the circulation of weather, verse forms in the drama and the performance of national identity, the fate of Gretchen and the occult politics of Francis Bacon. Other papers explore epistemological structures and taxonomies at work in Goethe’s prose, essays, and scientific writings.
