Trade Review"One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2016"
"A rich new anthology … which valiantly seeks to display every facet of Goethe's genius."
---Adam Kirsch, New Yorker"Succeeds in presenting Goethe from as many angles as can be fitted in between the covers of a single tome: the scientist beside the poet, the tireless observer of nature and eagle-eyed critic of art and society, the philosopher alongside the novelist and playwright."
---Osman Durrani, Times Literary Supplement"This meticulously prepared edition brims with Goethe's radiant insights and reflects his stunning virtuosity, confirming again his paramount position in European letters." * Publishers Weekly *
"Answers a need for a one-volume English translation of Goethe's most significant works…. An excellent, serviceable book." * Choice *
"[T]his is the best available one-volume anthology of Goethe’s works, spanning the full range of his output of poetry, drama, novels, literary criticism, autobiography, philosophy and science. The scope and insight of his work is extraordinary and his style eminently readable in every discipline."
---David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
