Where it came from
Originally published in 1915 as a doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan, Frederick B. Wahr's Emerson and Goethe serves as a foundational study in American-German literary relations. The work examines the philosophical and intellectual intersections between Ralph Waldo Emerson and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, specifically focusing on how Emerson engaged with Goethe's aesthetic and moral theories to shape his own transcendentalist thought.
The 1970s reprint by Norwood Editions emerged during a period of renewed academic interest in small-press scholarly revivals. By reissuing this specific monograph, Norwood Editions aimed to keep critical resources in comparative literature accessible to researchers and libraries, preserving Wahr’s analysis of the tension between Emerson’s idealism and Goethe’s worldly realism for a new generation of scholars.
