Following the success of Ahnfrau, however, Grillparzer returns to a much more widespread use of Classical themes, motifs and vocabulary, especially in Sappho, Grillparzer's mood in the period 1816-21 was one of introversion and pessimism, and there is an emphasis on the vocabulary of quiet peace and withdrawal. -

It asks how far they established principles of ‘intellectual exile’ that have gained currency in the writings of Edward Said and Vilém Flusser. It compares Schiller’s Ästhetische Briefe with Adorno’s reception of them; it examines concepts of exile in Goethe’s ‘Erste Epistel’ and Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten. Finally, it asks how elegy fits into a poetics of exile. The article suggests a fresh perspective on Weimar Classicism, and widened scope for Exilforschung. -
Die Goldene Bulle Politik - Wahrnehmung - Rezeption
Die Goldene Bulle Politik - Wahrnehmung - Rezeption Band II Herausgegeben von Ulrike Hohensee, Mathias Lawo, Michael Lindner, Michael Mcnzel und Olaf B. Rader Akademie Verlag MICHAEL NIEDERMEIER Goethe und die Goldene Bulle' Als mich Michael Lindner von der Arbeitsstelle der Monumenta Germaniae Histo- rica bat, aus Sicht des Goethe-Forschers einen Beitrag zu Johann Wolfgang von Goethe und seinem Verhältnis zur Goldenen Bulle beizusteuern, war ich zunächst zögerlich. Sicher, so meinte ich mich zu erinnern, hat Goethe in seinen Lebenser- innerungen auch - unter anderem - etwas zur Goldenen Bulle geschrieben. Nach einiger Zeit wurde mir allerdings klar, dass den Historikern der MGH als den Ken- nern der Goldenen Bulle Goethe in diesem Zusammenhang weit öfter begegnet war als mir, ja so muss man eingestehen, der Goethe-Forschung insgesamt. Freilich gibt es im Goethe-Wörterbuch einen Verweis über "Bulle, siehe Goldene Bulle", um dann im Wortartikel "golden" einen eigenen - freilich nur knappen - Eintrag zu erhalten.' Erstaunlich ist jedoch, dass mir in der fast unübersehbaren Goethe- Literatur kein einziger eigenständiger Aufsatz zum Thema begegnete und selbst in den diversen Goethe-Handbüchern nicht einmal ein eigener spezieller Artikel. Im Vorwort der von Wolfgang D. Fritz besorgten Monumenta-Ausgabe.' wird hingegen ausdrücklich Goethes Schilderung der Frankfurter Königswahl Josephs ]1. 1764 in ,Dichtung und Wahrheit' angeführt als Beleg für die Tatsache, dass der Geltungs- bereich der Goldenen Bulle zumindest für das Zeremoniell der Königswahl und das Kurfürstenkolleg noch bis 1806 Geltung besaß. Es zeigte sich, dass Historiker Goethe als eine verlässliche Quelle gebrauchten, während die spezielle germanisti- sche Goethe-Forschung auf den ersten Blick eher wenig beizutragen hat.4 Die leicht überarbeitete Schriftfassung des Vortrages behält den Vortragsgestus bei. -
Beyond Autonomy in Eighteenth-Century and German Aesthetics
10 Goethe’s Exploratory Idealism Mattias Pirholt “One has to always experiment with ideas.” Georg Christoph Lichtenberg “Everything that exists is an analogue to all existing things.” Johann Wolfgang Goethe Johann Wolfgang Goethe made his famous Italian journey in the late 1780s, approaching his forties, and it was nothing short of life-c hanging. Soon after his arrival in Rome on November 1, 1786, he writes to his mother that he would return “as a new man”1; in the retroactive account of the journey in Italienische Reise, he famously describes his entrance into Rome “as my second natal day, a true rebirth.”2 Latter- day crit- ics essentially confirm Goethe’s reflections, describing the journey and its outcome as “Goethe’s aesthetic catharsis” (Dieter Borchmeyer), “the artist’s self-d iscovery” (Theo Buck), and a “Renaissance of Goethe’s po- etic genius” (Jane Brown).3 Following a decade of frustrating unproduc- tivity, the Italian sojourn unleashed previously unseen creative powers which would deeply affect Goethe’s life and work over the decades to come. Borchmeyer argues that Goethe’s “new existence in Weimar bore an essentially different signature than his pre- Italian one.”4 With this, Borchmeyer refers to a particular brand of neoclassicism known as Wei- mar classicism, Weimarer Klassik, which is less an epochal term, seeing as it covers only a little more than a decade, than a reference to what Gerhard Schulz and Sabine Doering matter-o f- factly call “an episode in the creative history of a group of German writers around 1800.”5 Equally important as the aesthetic reorientation, however, was Goethe’s new- found interest in science, which was also a direct conse- quence of his encounter with the Italian nature. -
The Essential Goethe
Introduction Reading a French translation of his drama Faust in 1828, Goethe was struck by how “much brighter and more deliberately constructed” it appeared to him than in his original German. He was fascinated by the translation of his writing into other languages, and he was quick to acknowledge the important role of translation in modern culture. Literature, he believed, was becoming less oriented toward the nation. Soon there would be a body of writing— “world literature” was the term he coined for it— that would be international in scope and readership. He would certainly have been delighted to find that his writing is currently enjoying the attention of so many talented translators. English- speaking readers of Faust now have an embarrassment of riches, with modern versions by David Luke, Randall Jarrell, John Williams, and David Constantine. Constantine and Stanley Corngold have recently produced ver- sions of The Sorrows of Young Werther, the sentimental novel of 1774 that made Goethe a European celebrity and prompted Napoleon to award him the Le- gion d’Honneur. Luke and John Whaley have done excellent selections of Goethe’s poetry in English. At the same time the range of Goethe’s writing available in English remains quite narrow, unless the reader is lucky enough to find the twelve volumes of Goethe’s Collected Works published jointly by Princeton University Press and Suhrkamp Verlag in the 1980s. The Princeton edition was an ambitious undertaking. Under the general editorship of three Goethe scholars, Victor Lange, Eric Blackall, and Cyrus Hamlyn, it brought together versions by over twenty translators covering a wide range of Goethe’s writings: poetry, plays, novels and shorter prose fiction, an autobiography, and essays on the arts, philosophy, and science. -
STUDY the AESTHETIC ASPECTS of GOETHE's POEM Zeynab
International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2016, 6(6): 347-358 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 URL: www.aessweb.com STUDY THE AESTHETIC ASPECTS OF GOETHE’S POEM Zeynab Rahmanyan1 1Department of Persian Language Literature, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Goethe, the prominent German poet, writer, philosopher and scholar should be regarded as a joint between the literature of Classicism and Romanticism. Some of his works belong to the classical movement and another part of his work belongs to the radical and progressive movement in German Romanticism. In fact, Goethe is known as a poet, scholar and philosopher between the two main streams in Europe: Classicism and Romanticism. He carries the ideas of Classicism and also establishes new ideas of Romanticism. Hence, in terms of aesthetics, he is considered to be among the leading theorists of Romanticism school because he has reflected many creative and pure ideas of Romanticism in his literary and philosophical works. German literature owes to Goethe's intellectual and aestheticism. This article tries to display aesthetic aspects of Goethe’s poem in addition to study the literary and artistic features and characteristics of Romanticism school. © 2016 AESS Publications.

Goethe the Musician and His Influence on German Song Transcript
Goethe the Musician and his influence on German Song Transcript Date: Friday, 20 June 2008 - 12:00AM GOETHE THE MUSICIAN AND HIS INFLUENCE ON GERMAN SONG Professor Richard Stokes It has become fashionable to label Goethe unmusical. In April 1816 he failed to acknowledge Schubert's gift of 16 settings of his own poems which included such masterpieces as 'Gretchen am Spinnrade', 'Meeresstille', 'Der Fischer' and 'Erlkönig'. He did not warm to Beethoven when they met in 1812. He preferred Zelter and Reichardt to composers that posterity has deemed greater. And he wrote in his autobiography,Dichtung und Wahrheit : 'Das Auge war vor allen anderen das Organ, womit ich die Welt erfasste' ('It was through the visual, above all other senses, that I comprehended the world') - a statement which seems to be confirmed by his indefatigable study of natural phenomena and his delight in art and architecture, in seeing. Lynceus's line at the end of Faust , 'Zum Sehen geboren, zum Schauen bestellt' ('I was born for seeing, employed to watch') has an unmistakably autobiographical ring. Goethe was, above all a visual being, an Augenmensch,. He was also, from his earliest days in Frankfurt, intensely musical. His father brought a Giraffe, an upright Hammerklavier, for 60 Gulden in 1769, played the lute and flute and occasionally made music with friends - there is an amusing passage in Dichtung und Wahrheit which describes his father playing the lute,"die er länger stimmte, als er darauf spielte" ("which he spent longer tuning than playing")! His mother, who was more artistic, played the piano and sang German and Italian arias with great enthusiasm. -
Goethe's 'Faust' and European Epic: Forgetting the Future
Goethe’s Faust and European Epic Goethe has long been enshrined as the greatest German poet, but his admirers have always been uneasy with the idea that he did not produce a great epic poem. A master in all the other genres and modes, it has been felt, should have done so. Arnd Bohm proposes that Goethe did compose an epic poem, which has been hidden in plain view: Faust. Goethe saw that the Faust legends provided the stuff for a national epic: a German hero, a villain (Mephistopheles), a quest (to know all things), a sublime conflict (good versus evil), a love story (via Helen of Troy), and elasticity (all human knowledge could be accommodated by the plot). Bohm reveals the care with which Goethe draws upon such sources as Tasso, Ariosto, Dante, and Vergil. In the micro- cosm of the “Auerbachs Keller” episode Faust has the opportu- nity to find “what holds the world together in its essence” and to end his quest happily, but he fails. He forgets the future because he cannot remember what epic teaches. His course ends tragically, bringing him back to the origin of epic, as he replicates the Trojans’ mistake of presuming to cheat the gods. Arnd Bohm is associate professor of English at Carleton University, Ottawa.
