Goethe was a poet of supreme intelligence and sensitivity living through political and intellectual changes which have shaped the modern world. Boyle vividly narrates both the large-scale events and the personal drama of this exciting time, to give lucid accounts of important thinkers whom English readers have hitherto found inaccessible, and to analyse in new ways Goethe's works of the period, notably Wilhelm Meister, The Natural Daughter, andFaust.
