• The Essential Goetheis the most comprehensive and representative one-volume collection of Goethe's writings ever published in English. In addition to the works for which he is most famous, includingFaust Part Iand the lyric poems, the volume features important literary works that are rarely published in English--including the dramasEgmont,Iphigenia in Tauris, andTorquato Tasso, a selection from the travel journalItalian Journey,and the bildungsromanWilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, a foundational work in the history of the novel. The volume also offers a selection of Goethe's essays on the arts, philosophy, literature, and science, and an extensive introduction to Goethe's life and works by volume editor Matthew Bell. Primarily drawn from Princeton's authoritative twelve-volume Goethe edition, these highly readable and reliable translations make up an essential anthology of one of the greatest writers in world history.
