Description
1883 FAUST Goethe Tragic Play German Legend Devil Macabre Anna Swanwick English
“Faust: A Tragedy” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is a monumental work of German literature presented in two parts. Chronicling the narrative of Dr. Faust, who trades his soul to the devil, the play is a profound exploration of psychology, history, politics, mysticism, and philosophy. While Part One primarily dwells on Fausts internal turmoil after making the infernal deal, Part Two delves into broader societal and metaphysical themes, capturing Goethes contemplations during his later years.
Published by Thomas Y. Crowell and Co., this edition was translated by Anna Swanwick, edited by F.H. Hedge and includes illustrations by A. Von Kreling, each of which was engraved by George T. Andrew. Notably, Swanwicks translation seeks to uphold the original rhythm and meter of Goethes masterpiece, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between a poems form and its meaning, and aiming to deliver an English version that captures the poetic vitality of the original text.
