In 1821, the publication year of Goethe's AWilhelm Meisters
WanderjahreA, the literary public was unsettled by a pamphlet with
the same title calling into question not only Wilhelm Meister's
path to Bildung but the very values and ideals Goethe himself stood
for. Author Friedrich Pustkuchen (1793-1834) combined the
criticisms leveled at Goethe by others before him with new
arguments designed to topple Goethe from the intellectual and
spiritual pedestal his fellow Germans had hoisted him onto. The
warring reactions to this attack convey a vivid picture of the
regard Goethe was held in in the age of Restauration. The scholarly
campaign waged (then and since) against Pustkuchen in the field of
Germanic Studies is documented in a lengthy annex. It reveals the
Goethe research tradition in a rather curious light.
