Goethe's Faust (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Goethe's Faust
OF all modern literary productions, Goethe's Faust is entitled to be called the most remarkable and the great est. It is the master-piece not only of a great poet, but of a great nation; not only of a nation but of an age: it is the repre sentative of an era in the history of human progress. Like the master-pieces of former ages - like the Iliad of Homer, the Divine Comedy of Dante. The Dramas of Shakes peare - it has in its peculiar sphere no pro totype. Like them it may be followed by many imitations; but like them it seems to have preoccupied its own sublime re gionofpoesy. It shines there in the bright ness of immortality, and no successor can be expected to share its preeminence or dim its unapproachable splendor.
