More about the book
"Michael Hamburger is exactly the poet one would choose to perform the valuable service of bringing Goethe into focus for us."-Gavin Ewart This collection of Michael Hamburger's beautifully crafted versions from all periods of Goethe's creative life, including the erotic masterpiece Roman Elegies, forms an ideal introduction to a writer "so many-sided as to constitute a whole literature." Born in Frankfurt in 1749, Goethe trained as a lawyer. His long creative career encompassed plays, fiction, poetry, and theoretical and critical writings. His lifelong preoccupation was the drama Faust, completed shortly before his death in 1832.
