nThe Sorrows of Young Werther propelled Goethe to instant fame when it first appeared in 1774. Goethes story of a sensitive young artist--an alienated youth of searching introspection and passionate intensity--captured the Romantic sensibility of the day and led to a wave of imitations. Translated by the award-winning author David Constantine, this new edition captures the novels lyric clarity and powerful immediacy. In addition, Constantines critical introduction sheds light on the autobiographical background, the novels epistolary form and structure, and Werthers reception and afterlife. The explanatory notes illuminate contemporary allusions, literary references, and the parallels with Goethes life. nAbout the Series For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
