Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von (1749–1832) German poet, dramatist, novelist, and statesman. While studying law at Strasbourg,
Herder inspired him to appreciate Shakespeare. Goethe's first play,
Götz von Berlichingen (1773), was in the tradition of
Sturm und Drang. His epistolary novel
The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) won him international fame. His visits to Italy (1786–88, 1790) fired his enthusiasm for classicism, evidenced in the historical drama
Egmont (1788). Goethe's novel
Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1796) became the model for the German
bildungsroman. Goethe's most enduring work, the dramatic poem
Faust, was published in two parts (1808, 1832). See also
