Truth and Poetry: From my Own Life
Mixed media product
Publication Date: 21/02/2013
The playwright and critic John Oxenford (1812-77) had an acute aptitude for languages. Although he translated both Moliere and Calderon into English, he specialised in German translations and set high standards, not least with his rendering of several works by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). Among the greatest literary figures of his day, Goethe combined considerable achievements as a poet, novelist and playwright with his diverse interests in natural science and politics. This two-volume translation of his autobiography first appeared in 1848-9. In Volume 1, Goethe tells the story of his life from the day he was born until the publication of The Sorrows of Young Werther. Volume 2 contains the last seven books of the autobiography, in which Goethe settles in Weimar and helps make it an important cultural centre. Also included are letters from Switzerland along with notes from his Italian travels during the 1880s.
