In his literary works Goethe engages profoundly with various
manifestations of melancholy. Highly remarkable is the subtlety
with which he takes up ancient, medieval, and contemporary concepts
of melancholy, the accuracy with which he models the protagonists
of his works on these patterns, and the range of his reflections on
the possibilities of an existence free of melancholy. The present
study is the first to examine Goethe's literary works in the
context of a culture-historical problematic of major significance
for the late 18th and early 19th century.
