The tradition of the German novel, before the emergence of its
'classic' writers in the first half of the twentieth century
(Thomas Mann, Kafka, Hesse, Musil), does not have an assured place
in the canon of European literature. Not that it has wanted for
spirited advocates; but, despite all efforts, it has remained
firmly on the periphery. The one signal exception is Goethe's novel
Die Leiden des jungen Werthers usually rendered as 'The Sorrows of
Young Werther'. Werther was an extraordinary and immediate
bestseller both in Germany and abroad.
