New essays on topics in the literature of Goethe and the Goethezeit, including contributions by both eminent scholars and new voices.
The
Goethe Yearbook is a publication of the Goethe Society of North America, encouraging North American Goethe scholarship by publishing original English-language contributions to the understanding of Goethe and other authors of the
Goethezeit while also welcoming contributions from scholars around the world.
Volume 21 contains eleven articles, including contributions by leading scholars David Wellbery and Katharina Mommsen; innovative work on the reception of Goethe’s works around 1900, on women writers, and on Goethe’s contemporary Albrecht von Haller; theoretically sophisticated interpretations, including articles on concepts of space in
Alexis and Doraand on notions of sacrifice in
Faust; and interdisciplinary pieces ranging from a discussion of contemporary psychological and medical theories of ill humor in relation to Goethe’s
Werther and an economic reading of Goethe’s
Faust to an analysis of illustrations of Goethe’s works. The review section collects responses by eminent scholars to a wide swath of recent books on Goethe and his age, both in German and English.
