Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the founder of the poetry of experience, created a body of poetry that is unsurpassed in lucidity of speech and imagery and in instinct for melody and rhythm. Nonetheless, many of his poems are relatively unknown to English-speaking audiences, partly because of the difficulties they have posed to translators.

This volume contains translations, side by side with the German originals, of Goethe's major poems from 1768 to 1830 -- all prepared by eminent American and English writers, and all attesting to his poetic genius.
