Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was the greatest of German poets, one of the most
highly gifted men of the eighteenth century.

If the opinion of his contemporaries become the judgment of posterity, the
name of Goethe is destined to occupy, in future ages, that pre-eminent station
in the literary history of Germany which is now undisputedly held in their
respective nations, by Shakespeare, Dante, and Cervantes. Until this judgment
be pronounced by the final tribunal, we may characterize him as the happiest
of great poets. He attained a length of years granted to few; and his long
life was spent in successful literary labour, not imposed by necessity, but
prompted by the suggestions of his own genius and love of art. Nature had
endowed him with the much-prized gifts of bodily strength and personal beauty.

This book deals with the life and history of Goethe.
