The playwright and critic John Oxenford (1812-77) had an acute
aptitude for languages. Although he translated both Moliere and
Calderon into English, he specialised in German translations and
set high standards, not least with his rendering of several works
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). Among the greatest
literary figures of his day, Goethe combined considerable
achievements as a poet, novelist and playwright with his diverse
interests in natural science and politics. This two-volume
translation of his autobiography first appeared in 1848-9. In
Volume 2, Goethe recalls how he first arrived in the small city of
Weimar, which grew into an important cultural centre, due in no
small part to his extended residence there. Also included are
letters from Switzerland along with notes from the time he spent in
Italy during the 1880s. Goethe's Italian travels would be highly
significant for his artistic development and outlook.
