Library stamps/marks/labels/slip, spine sunned, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; "The present study examines formal critical comment written by Americans and published in American journals between 1806, the year of the appearance of the first review of a work by Goethe, and 1840. As the focus is on the nature of the formal critical response, rather than on reporting "how the various readers felt" about Goethe, diary, journal and correspondence commentary have been excluded. The emphasis is on those formal and philosophical elements of Goethe's literary texts with which readers were concerned, and with the aesthetic and poetic traditions forming the responses. That is, the response is examined in light of the critical concerns, the poetic and aesthetic convictions of the critics." ; Garland Publications In Comparative Literature; Ex-Library; 474 pages.
