Thank you for this introduction and for these very interesting notes on Geothe. I've got out my two volume translation of Faust; also a story by Goethe called "The Attorney." Reading "Sorrows" a couple of years ago was like going home, with "home" being the very deepest, and also the most problematical...yearnings of the mind and body. Oh, youth! "Werther" influenced so much and so many, perhaps also Feuerbach, who apparently tried to turn Hegelian "abstraction" on its head, bringing back the "sensuousness" of the body and its implacable yearnings.Zentristnoreply@blogger.com
