Essays on Art and Literature (Goethe: The Collected Works, Vol. 3)

Translated by Ellen von Nardroff and Ernest H. von Nardroff

The reflections on art and literature that Goethe produced throughout his life are the premise and corollary of his work as poet, novelist, and man of science. This volume contains such important essays as "On Gothic Architecture," "On the Laocoon Group," and "Shakespeare: A Tribute."
