Widely considered the father of German literature, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a polymath whose life and thoughts made a huge impact on European philosophy, science, and literature. This scrupulously-researched biography explores the philosophical preoccupations that drove Goethe to become a prolific poet, novelist, and playwright, and also examines the ways in which he was both influenced by and exerted influenced upon the tenets of the European Enlightenment.
