Having discussed Peter Schwartz's translation of André Jolles's
Einfache Formen yesterday, let me mention another undertaking of his at Boston University, where he is a member of the Department of World Languages and Literatures. This is
a symposium this coming Saturday, April 13, on the theme of "selling one's soul," sponsored by the WLL Department. The keynote address, by Jane K. Brown, illustrious Goethe scholar and former president of the GSNA, is entitled " I
rrlichtelieren: Knowledge in
Faust and in Goethe’s
Theory of Color." If only I had a magic carpet and could travel there.
Is it my imagination, or does the person of Faust in the above image not look like Edgar Allan Poe?
