Synopsis :

Book by Goethe Johann Wolfgang von

Présentation de l'éditeur: Translation of Faust would certainly seem to require some sort of Preface or word of apology to introduce it to the English reader ;seeing that from the first translation of Scenes from Faust by Shelley in 1820, Lord F. L. Gower s(afterwards Lord EU esmere) of nearly the whole poem in 1823, Dr. A nster sof the whole in 1828, and Mr. Hayward sprose translation in 1833, down to Mr. Scoones s(in verse) last year, some twoscore and more translations, with or without notes, have already issued from the press. My own reasons for attempting a new one are probably the same that have influenced each successive translator, namely, that former translations, excellent as in many respects they have been, have failed to satisfy myself, and that I felt there was still room for a further effort, with the aid offormer endeavours and all the advantages of the (present time, to lay before the reader unacquainted with This is perhaps an exaggeration. The actual number of translation of Part I. in the British Museum is twenty-eight, and it is hardly proba Uethat there are a dozen more not in that library.
