Sinopsis

Excerpt from Goethe's Poems: Selected and Annotated, With a Study of the Development of Goethe's Art and View of Life in His Lyrical Poetry

The current editions of Goethe's poems either follow the order of the final edition prepared under Goethe's care or substitute chronological arrangements.

The two good American selections are in the chronological order; the older one, prepared by Professor Charles Harris, of Western Reserve University (d. 0. Heath Co., without deviations; and the slightly more recent one, by Professor Julius Goebel, of the University of Illinois (henry Holt and Company, with modifications necessitated by his suggestive main divisions.

The principal disadvantage common to both these methods is that they fail to establish promptly and decisively the distinctive character of Goethe's work.
