Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Goethe: Faust Part One by Nicholas Boyle
Nicholas Boyle begins with a fascinating survey of earlier versions of the Faust story. He then offers a detailed reading of Faust Part One, emphasising the poetic and dramatic coherence of the work and tracing its links with the thought and culture of Goethes time. The play emerges as a tragic poem which may, to a certain extent, be read independently of Faust Part Two.show more
