In his autobiography, Goethe half-apologetically admits the youthful enthusiasm he experienced for alchemical and mystical readings: Georg von Welling's obscure Opus Mago-Cabbalisticum et Theosophicum and the anonymously published Aurea Catena Homeri, as well as works by Paracelsus, Basilis Valentinus and van Helmont. Originally published in 1952, this study shows how the symbols and concepts of alchemy played a key role in the genesis of Goethe's later works, both scientific and literary. Author of, among other books on German literature, Goethe: A Critical Introduction (1967) and An Introduction to German Poetry (1965), Ronald D. Gray details Goethe's alchemical readings, and shows how these influences were processed and transformed into a unique blend of scientific and poetic accounts of reality. Unprecedented in its approach, this study will be of interest to readers of German literature, as well as to anyone interested in the history and evolution of mysticism.

Goethe was a master of the short prose form. His two narrative cycles, Conversations of German Refugees and Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, both written during a high point of his career, address various social issues and reveal his experimentation with narrative and perspective. A traditional cycle of novellas, Conversations of German Refugees deals with the impact and significance of the French Revolution and suggests Goethe's ideas on the social function of his art. Goethe's last novel, Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, is a sequel to Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and to Conversations of German Refugees and is considered to be his most remarkable novel in form.

Because the category of 'late style' is extremely common in literary studies, it is often used uncritically. This is indicated by the simple fact that the relevant reference books have no entries on the concept. This volume aims to delineate phenomenon of late style as sharply as possible. Its contributions (in English and German) go beyond the widespread use of the term as a biographical or epochal benchmark in order to determine the aesthetic and functional principles that govern its application. In this connection, Goethe's work provides an outstanding field for theoretical exploration. This is not only because Goethe's work was essential for the emergence of a discourse of 'late style' in the early twentieth century. On the contrary, research on Goethe's late style continues to be a desideratum: Although scholars have examined the motifs, themes, and topics of most of Goethe's later works throughout the last sixty years, the question of lateness as a literary characteristic has rarely been raised. Thus, the volume provides a problem-orientied contribution both to Goethe philology and to literary criticism in general.

Dramatist, novelist, lyric poet, and scientist, Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832) is unquestionably the major figure of Germany's national literature; his career and works created a culture in themselves. In this book T. J. Reed shows that in every phase of his life Goethe's most remarkablecharacteristic was an essentially youthful creativity, an optimism that still presents a powerful challenge to the pessimistic assumptions of modern culture.

In 1794 Goethe and Schiller were engaged in a correspondence concerning the connection of the human soul with the world of the senses on one hand and with the supersensory on the other. While Schiller approached the question in a philosophical way, Goethe embodied his thoughts in a fantasy entitled The Fairytale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. In his fantasy, Lily represents the ideal world of the supersensory that is separated from the Green Snake, or the sensory, by a river. The goal is to build a bridge across the river that will connect the sensory and super sensory realms, and thereby establish a new, conscious spiritual awareness. The other characters in the fairytale–the Ferryman, the Old Woman, the Youth, the Will-o'-Wisps and the Old Man with the Lamp represent various aspects of the soul working together to accomplish this mighty task. A commentary on The Character of Goethe as shown in the Fairy Story is provided by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher and thinker. An invaluable guide, it illuminates much of the deep symbology that is contained in this simple, universal fairytale.

365 S. Ich war immer gerne hier⦠ich glaube es kommt von der Harmonie in der hier alles steht, Gegend, Menschen, Clima, Thun und Lassen. Viele Male hat Goethe im Lauf seines Lebens sein thüringisches Arkadien aufgesucht. Die Reise, die er mit seinen Enkeln Wolfgang und Walther vom 26. bis 31. August 1831, zu seinem 82. Geburtstag, ein halbes Jahr vor seinem Tod, nach Ilmenau unternimmt, ist eine Reise im Wissen um gezählte Tage.Hier, Thüringer Wald, hat Goethes Gespräch mit der Erde, hat sein naturwissenschaftliches Interesse begonnen, ausgelöst durch die Verantwortung für den Ilmenauer Bergbau. Das schönste lyrische Ergebnis dieses Gesprächs, das berühmte Gedicht "Über allen Gipfeln", hat er 1780 an die Wand einer Bretterhütte auf dem Kickelhahn geschrieben.In den sechs Augusttagen 1831, die den Handlungsrahmen für Sigrid Damms Buch abgeben, erinnert sich Goethe an seine Frau Christiane, an die böhmischen Bäder, wo er zum letztenmal die Liebe erlebte, bis er, zurückgewiesen von der jungen Ulrike von Levetzow, sich seines Alters verzweifelt bewußt wird. Er antwortet darauf mit seiner großen Dichtung, der "Marienbader Elegie". Goethe denkt an sein Werk, an den "Faust" vor allem und den Entschluß, ihn zu versiegeln, er reflektiert sein Verhältnis zum Veloziferischen seiner Zeit und zur Julirevolution 1830 als der größten Denkübung seines Lebens.
