Goethe, Volume 8:
Verse Plays and Epic
Edited by Cyrus Hamlin & Frank Ryder
Translated by Michael Hamburger, Hunter Hannum, and David Luke

| Table of Contents

This volume presents the four plays and the narrative poem that, along with Faust, established Goethe as one of the masters of European verse drama and epic. These works in particular display a balance between poetic form and ethical sensibility that characterizes much of Goethe's work during the era of Weimar Classicism. Here we are offered new translations of the dramas Iphigenia in Tauris, Torquato Tasso, The Natural Daughter, and Pandora and of the epic poem Hermann and Dorothea.
