Presented here are selected critical essays from five volumes of
the Poetik und Hermeneutik series published in Germany by the
Wilhelm Fink Verlag of Munich. These essays represent some of the
newest and most advanced thinking of fifteen leading scholars in
the German-American interdisciplinary school of literary criticism.
Until now no single volume has provided such an extensive
contemporary treatment of literatures, problems, and methodologies
representative of European criticism. The book's significance rests
in the potential this new interdisciplinary criticism has for
increasing the interplay between the two major critical movements
of our day, namely, the objective, pragmatic Anglo-American
criticism and the more subjective, phenomenological Continental
criticism. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.

Goethe's masterpiece translated by the eminent English poet and
translator Louis MacNeice.
Containing three of Goethe's major prose works, this volume
explores a range of themes: unfulfilled love, infidelity, divorce,
tragic love, fantasy, and moral rebirth. One of Goethe's best known
works, "The Sorrows of Young Werther, " explores the extremes of
the subjective experience through the novel's depiction of a
sensitive young man caught up in a love impossible to fulfill. In
"Elective Affinities, " a novel of tragic love, Goethe employs all
the requisites of sentimental romance to give a deeply ironic
perspective to the idea of love. As the title indicates, "Novella"
examines the possibilities inherent in this genre.
