Book Description
Excerpt from Goethes Iphigenie Auf Tauris: Edited With Introduction, Repetitional Exercises Notes and Vocabulary As Iphigenia and the temple maidens are singing their dirge for dead Orestes, a herdsman enters with the news of his capture of two Greek youths. At first the priestess finds but small pity for the fate of her two countrymen, for she is brooding over the death of her brother and cherishing thoughts Of revenge upon Helen and Menelaus who have caused all her present woe. But soon she recalls her own exile and her softer self returns, to feel anew repellent horror at the bloody duty which she behaves Diana would never sanction, for no god is evil; men do but ascribe to them their own wickedness.

Book Description
From Goethe to Gundolf: Essays on German Literature and Culture is a collection of Roger Paulin’s groundbreaking essays, spanning the last forty years. The work represents his major research interests of Romanticism and the reception of Shakespeare in Germany, but also explores a broader range of themes, from poetry and the public memorialization of poets to fairy stories - all meticulously researched, yet highly accessible. As a comprehensive examination of German literary history in the period 1700-1900, the collection not only includes accounts of the lives and work of Goethe, Schiller, the Schlegels, and Gundolf (amongst others), serving to nuance our understanding of these figures in history, but also considers diverse (and often underexplored) topics, from academic freedom to the rise of travel literature. The essays have been reformulated, corrected, and updated to add references to recent works. However, the core foundations of the originals remain, and just as when they were first published, the value of these essays – to researchers, students, and all those who are interested in German literary history – cannot be overstated.

Book Description
Excerpt from Goethe's Iphigenie Auf Tauris: With Introduction and Notes The reason for this popularity is in the remarkable char acter of the work. It is at once a most interesting dramatic presentation of an important mental and moral con ict, and a poem replete with rare and exquisite beauty of thought and expression. Wrought out on the plan of a Greek drama and imbued with the Greek spirit of simplicity and perfection of form, it constitutes an admirable basis for a comparison between the best of ancient history and the best of modern art. But in spite of its simplicity there is perhaps no other drama of Goethe, not even excepting his Faust, which calls for fuller elucidation, if one seeks to attain the highest aim Of literary study. The many points of connection between the modern poet and the poets of Greece require attention, as well as the in uence of the French drama, which has been so well shown by Hans Morsch, and the relation of the drama to the poet's own life and efforts at the time of its composition.
