First English translation of a small masterpiece of the German
Enlightenment. This interesting but neglected eighteenth-century
novel, by von Loen - a successful merchant and a great-uncle of
Goethe - comes at the end of the tradition in which members of
upper-class society narrate their life-stories; the author uses the
device to show the education of a prince to bring about a paragon
of nobility. As a whole, it provides a revealing mirror of the
attitudes of the German enlightenment. First English translation.
JOHN RUSSELL is Professor Emeritus of German at SUNY Stony Brook.
