The profound impact of Jean-Jacques Rousseau on Western thought has
been frequently examined, yet the extent of Goethe's relationship
to Rousseau has never before received thorough study. Carl Hammer
Jr. here analyzes Goethe's works, paying particular attention to
his mature production, to reveal the profound affinities of thought
between these two European giants. Scholars have long recognized
the direct influence of Rousseau on Goethe's first novel, Werther,
but have believed that Goethe's enthusiasm waned thereafter.
Hammer, in contrast, finds the affinity revealed even more strongly
in Goethe's later works.
