The youth of Goethe

by Peter Hume Brown

Mr. Brown presents clearly and entertainingly the story of the poet's early years, endeavoring to analyze his nature, environment, and mode of life, in their relation to his development, both then and in later years. "Mr. Brown's book is critical without being pedantic, and sympathetic without falling into the over-exuberance of German biographers, which often repels the English reader. In its compass it presents a full and very understanding and interesting account of the young Goethe." THE NEW YORK TIMES. "A book full of interest." BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.
