Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is recognised as a giant of world
literature; an exceptionally prolific and versatile writer. As a
student, he composed pastoral plays in the style of the waning
Rococo. With Gotz von Berlichingen, a drama conceived in the spirit
of Shakespeare, he joined the avant-garde Sturm und Drang authors.
His epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther elicited fervent
responses among those who rejected the traditions of the
Enlightenment, and in his tragedy Faust, which evolved over a
60-year period, he created a prototype of the Romantic hero.
Furthermore, based on his studies in literary theory, he developed
a concept of 'world literature' that he hoped would foster
communication among writers of different nations.
