Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Continuing Vitality (Studies in Comparative Literature)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Continuing Vitality is a collection of several lectures from the Fifteenth Annual Comparative Literature Symposium held in 1982. These lectures are based on the analysis of various aspects of the poetic works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The theme of Goethe's continuing vitality in world literature emphasizes the complex relationship between the influence that aroused and inspired him and the influence that, in turn, he exerted on others in literature and music.
