IN MEMORIAM
P. R. E. F. A C E
THE present edition has been prepared to meet the
wish of teachers for an edition of Hermann und
Dorothea with concise notes and a vocabulary. The
experience of many years in instruction has
strengthened the conviction that no one of the text
books usually chosen for the elementary study of
German surpasses this work in educative value. The
editor returns with fresh interest to studies which
occupied his attention at an earlier period. In the
interval, much has appeared which has contributed to
our knowledge of the history of the poem. The final
form of the text has been established. More than
three hundred different readings are found in the
various editions which appeared during the poet’s life.
Many of these are of minor importance, others
affect the meaning, and often the metrical form.
The Weimar edition, by laying down the canon of an
exact reproduction of the Ausgabe aus letzter Hand,
with Goethe's final revision, proceeded upon a logical
and the only defensible basis. At the same time it
sometimes retains readings which owe their origin to
early, spurious reprints. In this poem, as well as in
several of Goethe's other works, corrupt reprints fur-
nished the basis of the text, by which errors have been
propagated through successive editions to the present
7
8 PREFACE
time. Many works were only glanced at by the author
in revising them for the press, the correction of others
was intrusted to secretaries or amanuenses. It can-
not, therefore, be established in all cases whether a
given reading has received the endorsement of the
poet. Errors which can be traced to early pirated re-
prints, and have been later incorporated in the accepted
and authorized text, must still be regarded as errors,
even though they escaped the vigilance of the original
revisers. In some cases errors have existed so long
that they seem to have established a claim to ac-
ceptance as the final and authoritative readings.
Goethe was not indifferent to an accurate text of his
works, indeed, he laid great emphasis upon it; at the
same time so much of the revision was intrusted to
others, that it is often uncertain whether a reading
had his definite approval.
Dr. Gräf's valuable work, Goethe iber Seine Dich-
tungen, of which the first part has been issued in four
volumes, embracing the epic and dramatic writings,
furnishes a satisfactory guide to all of Goethe's per-
sonal statements concerning the origin and criticism
of this work.
Teachers will differ in their views of the practical
value of a vocabulary in elementary instruction. For
a few books it seems desirable, as in readers and in a
few standard texts. A universal use of a vocabulary
would remove one of the most valuable features in
linguistic training. A vocabulary, in most cases,
presents only the exact definitions of the words as
used in the text. It thus constitutes simply a key,
affording merely a ready access to the translation of
PREFACE 9
the work. Unless a definition proceeds from the
generic or the accepted meaning to the specific, it often
becomes misleading; it simply presents the significa-
tion as given in the text itself, which is often accidental
and peculiar to the author. A learner accepts the
derivative or local use as universal; he thus acquires
and retains a limited conception of the original mean-
ing of the word, as the glossary does not show the
lines of derivation and of developing signification. A
knowledge thus limited is often valueless as an aid in
subsequent reading; indeed, it may give an utterly
false impression, and thus prove illusive rather than
instructive. One of the finest results of the study of
literature is the power to discriminate delicate shades
of meaning. If linguistic training fails to afford this
discipline, either through a defective method of in-
struction or through a vocabulary constructed on
an erroneous principle, it has lost an essential element
of the highest culture. To translate for the student,
to give to him the exact signification, thus relieving
him from any necessity of independent thought, will
make his translation mechanical, and thus he will fail
to be equipped with a proper vocabulary for subsequent
reading; his knowledge will be vague and indefinite,
and his linguistic training inadequate, being based
upon a partial and imperfect knowledge of words.
An attempt has been made to emphasize the study of
the vocabulary by embodying in it verbal facts which
are generally contained in special notes. Where words
present a peculiar sense or use in certain passages, the
lines in which they occur have been cited in the voca-
bulary. An attempt has been made to group distinct
IO PREFACE
meanings, which are separated by a semicolon in the
definitions.
As to the proper place for the reading of Hermann
wºnd Dorothea in a preparatory course, the editor be-
lieves that it should follow the selections in the reader
and, possibly, a classical prose drama, such as Minna
von Barnhelm or Die Journalisten, or some work in
descriptive prose.
Few works can be studied more profitably by ad-
vanced or even by college pupils. The language was
in transition in the last quarter of the eighteenth cen-
tury. Simple verbs were used where compound are
now required; longer forms occur where shorter are
now in use and, conversely, certain words have
changed in meaning or become obsolete, and gram-
matical forms sometimes present earlier features; the
author frequently stamps his own individuality upon
certain words, imparting a significance to them which
has since been universally adopted. A knowledge of
such facts, as illustrated in the poem, affords an in-
valuable training in the history and development of the
language.
A few paragraphs have been taken from the editor's
earlier edition of Hermann und Dorothea. Paragraphs
so derived are enclosed in quotation marks.

I. SOURCES OF THE POEM.
I. THE ExILES FROM SALZBURG.
The Thirty Years' War, a conflict for religious
liberty in Germany, had ended with the peace of West-
phalia in 1648. By the terms of this treaty freedom
of conscience was practically guaranteed to all the
citizens of Germany, whether Protestant or Catholic.
Every ruler might, in fact, determine the religion of
his state, the public worship in which was thus
prescribed by the sovereign. Citizens who refused to
conform were allowed three years in which to leave
the country.
The northern states of Germany were in the main
Protestant, confessing either the Lutheran or the
Reformed faith, while the states of South Germany
adhered in general to the Catholic church. Political
and religious events in Bohemia, the country of the
reformer Huss, had been the immédiate occasion of
the Thirty Years' War. There were many followers
of the Reformation in Bohemia and in the adjoin-
ing Archbishopric of Salzburg. The inhabitants of
this district were simple in life and heroic in faith.
They comprised miners living in remote districts

among the mountains, a prosperous artisan class in the
manufacturing towns, and many peasant farmers with
comfortable homes, rich in lands and herds. In 1727,
Leopold Anton, Baron von Firmian, Primate of Ger–
many and Archbishop of Salzburg, ascended the epis-
copal throne. He instituted immediately a crusade
against his subjects who professed the Protestant faith.
The Emperor, Karl VI, lent the military forces of the
House of Hapsburg to this undertaking. Spies ap-
peared in the houses of these people and wherever
they gathered for their simple worship. Many were
arrested in the middle of the night, loaded with
chains, and borne away to prison. Appeals were
made to the Protestant princes throughout Germany
for protection, but the protests of the latter were
unheeded. Finally, the Archbishop issued a positive
order that all heretics above the age of twelve, not
possessing salable property, should leave the country
within eight days. Others who possessed estates or
goods were allowed a limited period in which to
dispose of the same. All Protestants employed in
the government mines or forests were immediately
discharged. This order was issued on October 31,
1731. The harvests were still standing in the fields,
and the first snows had fallen upon the mountains.
Within a month the ferocious execution of this order
began. The leaders were imprisoned, while the poor
fled for safety over dark mountain passes, seeking a
land of liberty. King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia
invited the exiles to settle in his kingdom. When the
protests of the Protestant princes proved powerless,
active measures of reprisal began. The King of Den-
INTRODUCTION - I 5
mark ordered that his Catholic subjects in Holstein
should have until April 24th in which to remove from
his kingdom. King Friedrich Wilhelm took the most
energetic measures to secure the protection of these
martyrs of faith, and announced that hereafter he
should regard the Salzburgers as his own subjects.
England sent an eloquent and noble remonstrance to
the Emperor. Finally, when the Protestant princes
had signed a joint note, declaring that they would
unite to secure protection for citizens of the same
faith, the Archbishop was induced by the Emperor to
moderate his terms.
Before the end of April, 1732, fourteen thousand of
the best and most industrious citizens of the country
had sought safety by flight. Wherever the companies
of the exiles reached the Protestant states of Ger–
many, they were welcomed as heroes, and they entered
the cities singing:

“A needy exile here I roam,
Such is my appellation,
I’m driven from my native home
For God’s word and salvation.”
Provision was made to supply their wants, the bells
of the cities were rung, and the officials went forth in
procession to meet them. An allowance was made

from the purse of the King of Prussia, granting to
each adult four groschen a day, and to every child
two groschen, to meet his needs so long as his journey
lasted. About twenty thousand are said to have settled
in Prussia, mostly in Lithuania, twelve hundred miles
from their former home. Others established them-
selves in Würtemberg, in the Netherlands, in Bruns-
wick, and even in England. About six hundred re-
moved to Georgia in the United States, of whose
settlement and life in this country very interesting
annals have been published.
Goethe met with an incident in the wandering of
these exiles which is contained in a pamphlet pub-
lished in 1732, “Das liebthatige Gera gegen die Salz-
burgischen Emigranten. Das ist: kurze und wahr-
haftige Erzählung, wie dieselben in der Gräflich
Reuss-Plauischen Residenz-Stadt angekommen, aufge-
nommen und versorget, auch was an und von vielen
derselben Gutes gesehen und gehöret worden.” (Be-
neficent Gera to the Salzburg Emigrants. This is a
short and true narrative of how they arrived in the
capital of the county of Reuss-Plauen, were received
and provided for, also what good was seen and heard
in the case of, and by many of them.) In the Com-
prehensive History of the Emigrants, or exiled Lu–
therans from the Archbishopric of Salzburg (1732),
this story is published under the heading, “Wonderful
Marriage.” It is noticeable that Dorothea is repre-
sented as having left her parents for the sake of her
faith. In Göcking's Complete History of the Emi-
gration (1734), the story is contained in the chapter
on “Works of Divine Providence.” It is possible that
INTRODUCTION 17
Goethe met with it in his search for the material for
the Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten, with
which he was occupied in 1794-95, which were pub-
lished in the first four volumes of Schiller's Horem.
The original narrative reads as follows:–
“In Altmühl, a town in the district of Oettingen, a
worthy and well-to-do citizen had a son, whom he had
often urged but had never been able to induce to marry.
When the Salzburg emigrants came to pass through
this little town, there was among them a maiden to
whom the youth took a fancy; at the same time he
formed the resolution in his heart to marry her, if
possible. He therefore went and sought information
from the other Salzburgers as to the maiden's conduct
and family, and learned that she was the child of good,
honest people, and had always conducted herself very
well, but had separated from her parents on account
of religion and left them behind. Thereupon this
youth went to his father and informed him that, as he
had so often urged him to marry, he had now chosen
a maiden, if his father would allow him to have her.
And when his father wanted to know who she was,
he told him that she was a Salzburg maiden, and
that he liked her, and if he would not let him have her
he would never marry. The father was startled at
this, and attempted to dissuade him from it. He also
called in some of his friends and a pastor, in order,
possibly by their intervention, to bring his son to a
different mode of thinking, but all in vain. The pastor
finally thought that it might be God’s special prov-
idence, and that it might result in the good of the son
as well as in that of the emigrant girl, whereupon they

I 8 $) erm an it unt b 3D or of be a
finally gave their consent, and permitted the son to do
as he liked. He went straightway to his Salzburg
maiden, and asked her how she liked it here in this
land. She answered: “Sir, quite well.’ He proceeded
further: “Whether she would be willing to serve in
his father's house?' She answered, “Very willingly;
if you will take me, I purpose to serve you faithfully .
and industriously.” She then related to him all that
she could do; how she could feed cattle, milk the cows,
work in the fields, make hay, and do other things of
the kind. Upon this the son took her with him, and
presented her to his father. He asked the maiden
whether she liked his son and would marry him. She,
however, not knowing anything of this matter, im-
agined that he was trying to tease her, and answered
that he should not make fun of her; his son had wished
to hire a servant for his father; and if he desired her,
she purposed to serve him faithfully and to earn well
her bread. When, however, the father insisted and
the son showed likewise his serious desire for her,
she declared that if he was really in earnest she
would be well content, and she would cherish him as
the apple of her eye. When he, thereupon, handed to
her a gift of betrothal, she put her hand in her bosom
and said that she must also give to him a wedding por-
tion. Whereupon she gave him a little purse, in which
there were two hundred ducats.”
The source of this poem was discovered and pub-
1ished first in Der Breslauische Ergähler in 1800. The
fact was not generally recognized, and it remained for
a writer in the Morgenblatt of 1809 to point to this
incident as the source of Goethe's poem. We find

here the leading actors, save the mother and the apoth-
ecary. The scene is no longer one of religious per-
secution and the heroism of faith, but of patriotism,
and of suffering nobly borne, and constituting a uni-
versal appeal. The subject of the poem was trans-
ferred to existing political events associated with the
conflicts between France and Germany, which followed
the French Revolution.
2. THE CAMPAIGN IN FRANCE.
Prussia and Austria had united in a treaty, the pur-
pose of which was to preserve the cities of Germany
from the French revolutionary movement beyond the
Rhine. With this object in view, two armies were
assembled, one for the occupation of Elsass, and the
other for an advance upon Paris by way of Belgium.
The royal princes of France had fled to the Rhine after
the Revolution of 1789, whither they were followed
by loyal nobles and their adherents. These bore the
name of “the emigrants,” emigrés. They established
themselves at Koblenz, where they held court, conducted
negotiations with foreign powers, and raised an army
in behalf of Louis XVI, which was to act against the
National Assembly. The allied army, under the com-
mand of the Duke of Brunswick, who had been dis-
tinguished in the wars of Frederick the Great but was
unequal to the demands of more modern warfare, ad-
vanced against Paris. The Duke issued an arrogant pro-
clamation, demanding the submission of the National
Assembly and the return of the exiled king. The
Prussians captured Longwy and Verdun, but were
4
2O Šyer m an it untb 3) or p the a
checked in an assault upon Valmy. Under a skilful
and energetic leader victory would have been assured,
and the enterprise crowned with success by the cap-
ture of the French capitol. Hesitation, and conflicting
counsels when an advance was possible, caused an
abandonment of the enterprise. The Duke Karl August
of Weimar, the friend of Goethe, commanded a regi-
ment in this campaign. Goethe had joined his prince
at the latter's request and accompanied the advance
and participated in the disastrous retreat. In his
Campagne in Frankreich Goethe published a personal
record of his experiences with the army during the
six weeks in which he was associated with it. The
Duke left Weimar on June 22, 1792, after having re-
ceived a promise from Goethe to visit him in Koblenz.
Later the Duke requested his presence at his head-
quarters, and he left Weimar in the second week of
August, 1792. He visited Frankfurt on the way, and
on August 20 reached Mainz, where he received a
summons to join the Duke in the Prussian camp be-
fore Longwy. On September 29 the army again re-
treated. Goethe reached Trier on October 22 and
arrived again in Weimar, Dec. 18.
Goethe's experiences with the army gave to him a
personal knowledge of military operations and fur-
nished him with several of the incidents described in
the poem. Under date of October 4, he wrote: “All
at once, there was a loud knocking on the house door,
which had been securely locked [he was billeted in a
house in Sivry, and the rain was falling in torrents].
We gave no heed to it, for we had no desire to let in
any more guests. The knocking continued, and in

between cried a most plaintive woman's voice, eagerly
entreating in very good German to be admitted. At
last relenting, we unlocked the door. An old vivan-
dière (Marketenderin) pressed in, carrying in her
arms something wrapped in a cloth; at her heels fol-
lowed a young woman, not bad looking, but pale and
exhausted, scarcely able to keep on her feet. In brief,
energetic words, the old woman explained the situ-
ation, displaying a naked infant, of which the young
woman had just been delivered on her flight. Delayed
by this event and maltreated by peasants, they had at
last in the night reached our door. The mother had
not been able to give her child any nourishment since
it had drawn its first breath. Thereupon, the old
woman called loudly for flour, milk, a chafing dish,
also linen for swaddling the infant. As she knew no
French we had to translate her orders; but her authori-
tative manner and vehemence gave to her words plenty
of pantomimic weight and impressiveness. We could
not execute her orders any too promptly, nor was what
she obtained a bit too good for her. It was also worth
the while to see with what promptness she set to work.
We were pushed back from the fire, the best place
given to the Wöchnerin, and she herself acted as if
she had the house all to herself. In a trice the infant
was bathed and swaddled and the porridge cooked;
she fed the little creature, then the mother, scarcely
thinking of herself. She then demanded a change of
dress for the Wöchnerin, while the old dress might be
drying. We watched her with astonishment; she un-
derstood the business of levying contributions (requi-
rieren).”

In this extract we have the original source of the
Scene in which Dorothea cares for the invalid with
the young child, as described in Canto II, 32—49, VII,
I31–142. Similarly, in describing the manners of the
French in Sivry, Goethe wrote: “The night drew
on ; it was time for the children to go to bed. They
came up to their father and mother, respectfully
courtesied, kissed their hands, saying, ‘bon Soir, papa,’
‘bon Soir, maman,’ with most admirable grace.” There
is here a description of the domestic courtesy with
which Dorothea had been familiar, as described in
Canto VIII, 41–47.
3. CONTEMPORARY HISTORY AS RELATED TO THE POEM.
Goethe stated that the time of the action of the
poem was in the preceding August (1796). He, how-
ever, groups various events which followed the out-
break of the French Revolution in 1789 and the
establishment of the French Republic, as these
were related to German history. The Directory
in France (1795—9) had entered upon a brilliant
and desperate struggle against the leading powers
of Central Europe. Napoleon had won in Italy
some of his early and most brilliant victories. Two
armies advanced against Germany, that of the Sambre
et Meuse under Jourdan, and that of the Rhine under
Moreau. Frankfurt, the city of Goethe's birth, was
captured by the French, and his mother sought safety
by flight to Offenbach. A vivid description of this is
preserved in the letters of the Frau Rat to her son
INTRODUCTION 23
written at this time. Jourdan, - who had been baffled
by the Archduke Karl, the leader of the Imperialists,
in his attempt to enter Germany by the valley of the
Lahn, moved south and entered Bavaria, and advanced
to the vicinity of Regensburg. In the meantime the
strong fortresses of Mainz and Ehrenbreitstein on the
Rhine had been invested by the French. Moreau in
his onward march had reached Ingolstadt and
threatened Munich, but was now forced to retreat.
This celebrated general, pursued by two Austrian
armies, succeeded in reaching the defiles of the Black
Forest and, finally, in recrossing the Rhine in safety.
All the horrors of war marked the advance of the
French armies into Germany. The soldiers of a nation
which had been welcomed as friends not long before
were now guilty of every excess and outrage. The
harvest fields were trodden down, churches plundered,
and the inhabitants exposed to every indignity. In the
meantime the states of Germany became divided in
their counsels, and sought peace and security by mak-
ing terms separately with France. Prussia made a
secret treaty with France on Aug. 5, and the Elector
of Saxony and the Swabian Circle withdrew their
troops from the support of Austria.
Häusser in his German history thus describes the
rising of the peasants who followed the retreating
armies of France:
“Entire communities had risen, and armed with
scythes, pitchforks, flails, and many with muskets, pur-
sued the scattered bands of French, attacked smaller
companies, and captured whole trains of wagons,
horses, and munitions. This movement of the people
24 - §erman n umb 3 or 0 the a
became so formidable to the retreating enemy that they
preferred to advance to meet the Imperialists and sur-
render as prisoners, rather than fall into the hands of
the peasants. New outrages, which were perpetrated
on the march from Würzburg to Bamberg in order to
inspire terror, only increased the exasperation of the
people. For many days, over wide stretches of country,
the alarm bells sounded to rouse the peasants to the
pursuit of the French. After the defeat [of the
French] at Würzburg, the movement extended toward
the Spessart, and even as far as the district of Fulda
the peasants rose to chastise their oppressors. The
losses which the French suffered in soldiers and arms
by this petty Peasants' War was on the whole equal
to the loss of a battle.”
The approach of the French armies had caused ter-
ror in Weimar. The advance guard of the French
was expected in Koburg, and was but a few days'
march from Jena. The correspondence of Goethe and
Schiller at this time shows how vivid was the appre-
hension of disaster associated with the approach of
the French armies. Thus, with the reality of war
threatening his home, and an intense interest for the
safety of his mother and his native city, Goethe began
the composition of Hermann und Dorothea. The Scene
of the poem was laid in the vicinity of the Rhine, in
some city which had been spared the approach of
hostile armies, but which was situated So near as to
offer refuge to exiles from across the river.

INTRODUCTION 25
II. THE COMPOSITION OF THE POEM.
The place which Hermann und Dorothea sustains
in Goethe's life is of importance in considering its
history. The poet had completed in the summer of
1796 Wilhelm Meister, a novel which had occupied
him at intervals for twenty-one years. He was also
closely associated with Schiller in the publication of
the Musen-Almanach. The autobiography of Bene-
venuto Cellini also attracted him, and he prepared a
translation for Schiller's Horen. In his studies new
subjects constantly occurred to him, and old plans
arose in his mind demanding completion. Turning
aside for a few days from his translation, he wrote
Alexis und Dora.
Goethe had met with the subject of Hermann und Do-
rothea in 1794, probably while collecting material for
his volume upon Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewan-
derten, which he published in Schiller's Horen, 1795—
97. In the beginning of July, 1796, he wrote to Schiller,
“I shall hereafter, so far as a man is master of him-
self, confine myself to smaller tasks, and shall choose
only the purest material, in order to accomplish as
regards form all that my powers are capable of. Be-
sides Hero und Leander, I have in my mind an idyl of
citizen life, because I, too, must undertake something
of that kind.” The theme gradually assumed form in
his mind until September, when he wrote that he had
begun to versify the idyl. He thus describes the be-
ginning of its composition:
* Briefe II. 324.
26 Šper in an it unb 3) or of be a
“I had scarcely freed myself from Wilhelm Meister
by its successive publication, when I assumed a new
burden, which was easier to bear, or rather was no
burden, because it furnished me an opportunity to give
expression to certain views, feelings, and ideas of the
time. The plan of Hermann und Dorothea was con-
ceived and developed in connection with current
events; the execution was begun and completed during
September, so that it could be read to friends. The
poem was written with ease and satisfaction, and it
imparted these feelings. The subject and its execu-
tion had so pervaded my being that I could never read
the poem aloud without great emotion, and this effect
has since for many years always been the same.”
The poem was begun during a visit to Jena. In
, this charming old city of the Saale much of Goethe's
best work had been done. Here he was free from the
distractions of court life, and could devote himself
unreservedly to the charm of letters and to the studies
which association with his friends in the university
suggested. The poem was begun on Sept. II, while he
was residing in the old castle of the Dukes of Saxe-
Jena. The work proceeded, with amazing rapidity.
Goethe did not write systematically, but worked upon
different cantos as the theme attracted him. On Sep-
tember 13, he had completed the second canto; on Sep-
tember 16, the fifth and sixth cantos; on September 17,
the second half of the fourth canto; on September 18,
the first half of the third canto; on the same day, he
connected cantos two to six and brought them into

INTRODUCTION 27
proper order. On September 19, he wrote the first
half of the first canto; by October 18, he had revised
the first four cantos and now sought to bring cantos
five and six into more perfect form. The poem had
grown under his hand. At first he did not contemplate
a poem of over fourteen hundred lines. On October
21, he read the poem, so far as it was completed, to the
Duke Karl August. In a letter to Körner of Oct. 28,
Schiller thus spoke of Goethe's work upon the poem:
“Goethe has now in hand a new poetical work, which
is for the most part complete. It is a kind of burgher
idyl, not called into being within him by Voss's Luise,
but yet newly awakened by it; it is, moreover, in its
entire manner, entirely opposed to Voss. The whole
is planned with amazing intelligence, and executed in
the genuine epic tone. I have heard two-thirds of it,
that is to say, four cantos, which are admirable. It
may possibly extend to twelve sheets (Bogen). The
idea of it he has, it is true, already carried about with
him for several years, but the execution — which, as
it were, took place under my eyes — has occurred with
a lightness and rapidity incomprehensible to me, since
he wrote over one hundred and fifty hexameters daily
for nine days in succession (Sept. II—19).” There
were intervals of days and weeks when he was not in
the mood for poetical production and could not even
“touch the hem of the garment of a Muse,” when he
rested from composition.
By November 15, the first four cantos had been care-
fully revised and copied. He then wrote the Elegy of
Hermann und Dorothea, which was designed to be a
poetical explanation and defense of his poem and of
28 ©erm an it umb 3) or ot be a
his previous writings. A period of inactivity and an
indisposition to poetical production then arose. On
December 5, in a letter to his Swiss friend Meyer, he
thus described his work:
“I have been led by my idyl (Alexis und Dora)
into the related field of epic poetry, since a subject
which had been destined for a similar small poem has
expanded to a greater, which will be presented entirely
in epic form, and contain six cantos, and about 2,000
hexameters. Two-thirds are already complete, and I
hope after the new year to find the mood for what
remains. I have sought to separate in the epic crucible
the purely human element in the existence of a small
German city from its slag, and to reflect at the same
time as from a little mirror the great movements and
changes in the theatre of the world. The time of the
action is approximately that of last August, and I did
not perceive the hardihood of my undertaking until
the greatest difficulty had been already surmounted.
As regards the poetical as well as the metrical char-
acter of the whole, I have had constantly before my
eyes what has been recently discussed in connection
with the works of Voss, and have sought to decide
various contested points; at least I cannot better ex-
press my conviction than in this practical manner.”
In the meantime, the elegy had been completed and
received the approval of his friends. On December 8,
he wrote to Körner: “As a sailor, who returns from
a dangerous voyage, cannot on that account linger in
the harbor but must set sail again as soon as possible,
* Briefe II, p. 272.
INTRODUCTION 29
so I have undertaken a new journey. An epic poem
which will probably contain six cantos and as many
as two thousand hexameters is now my affection and
my care. The more that which has been completed is
approved, so much the more solicitous I become,
whether I shall end as I have begun. But in the case
of a poem, the plan of which has been recognized as
correct, and the execution of which depends only upon
the proper moment, neither hope nor anxiety is in order,
but faith.” A copy of the Elegy of Hermann und Do-
nothea, which Goethe intended as an introduction to
his idyl, was inclosed. On January 8, 1797, he wrote in
his diary that during a journey to Dessau and Leipzig
the plan for the conclusion of the epic poem had
been conceived, and that he had made a complete
sketch of the same. About the first of March he
resumed work upon the last canto, then the sixth,
but which now embraces the eight and the ninth.
On March I5, he announced the completion of the
poem. In the period in which Goethe had rested
from active work on the poem, he had devoted
himself to a careful study of the theory of class-
ical metres as contained in the work of Hermann
upon the Metres of the Greek and Latin Poets
(1796), which had been recently published. He also
read Aristotle on the Art of Poetry and several of the
dramas of Aeschylus. He had also studied Wolf's
letters to Heyne upon Homer (1797), and the Latin
elegies of Cornelius Gallus, and also Propertius and
Tibullus. Much of his time was devoted to the study
of classical literature and life. He read also Schlegel's
Greeks and Romans (Vol. I, 1797), Voss' Luise
3O ©erm an it unb 3) or of be a
(1795), also the latter's translation of the Eclogues of
Virgil, as well as the grammatical discussions of Klop-
stock (1794). During this period, the study of classical
poetry and especially of classical meters, and how far
they were adapted to modern verse, was a frequent
subject of discussion with his friends, especially with
Wilhelm von Humboldt, Böttiger, and others. On
June 8, his complete poem was sent to the publisher
Vieweg in Berlin. The revision of the proof was un-
dertaken by Wilhelm von Humboldt, who returned it to
Goethe accompanied by a detailed discussion of the
various lines and even of the choice of words in the
poem. Many of Humboldt's suggestions were adopted.
III. VOSS LUISE.
Idyllic poetry in Germany had acquired great vogue
by the writings of the Swiss poet Gessner (1730–88).
His famous idyls published first in 1756 became in
England and in France one of the most popular and
widely-read German books. Delicate in expression
and revealing a genuine love of nature, but artificial
in the extreme in the sentiments ascribed to shepherds
and shepherdesses, these poems constituted but an in-
cident in the development of German poetry.
Johann Heinrich Voss, a teacher in Eutin and the
famous translator of Homer, published in 1783–84
the two idyls which later constituted his Luise. This
simple poem, devoid of incident and of plot, shows
great truth of feeling, fidelity and beauty in the de-
piction of rural scenes, but lacks imagination and
INTRODUCTION 3 I
romantic interest. It describes the life of a country
pastor in North Germany, the celebration of the birth-
day of his daughter in the forest, the visit of her
betrothed, and their marriage on the evening before
the day fixed for the wedding. The pastor is plain,
sincere, reverent; the mother, affectionate and do-
mestic; the daughter natural, and frank in the ex-
pression of her love. Its descriptions, homely and
detailed, charmed all classes, and it was recognized as
a fresh revelation of genuine feeling in contrast with
the artificial productions and the pictorial descriptions
of the earlier school. Wieland asserted that Voss
could claim rank with the greatest poets of all times,
Schiller that Voss had enriched German literature
by this idyl. Goethe was equally prompt in recogniz-
ing the merits of Voss. -
In 1795 the entire poem was issued by itself, and
Goethe wrote to Voss :— -
“For what you have done anew on the Luise, I
thank you, as if you had enriched and endowed
one of my oldest friends. I have read and repeated
especially the third idyl so often, since is was
published in the Merkur, that I have made it
entirely my own, and now as it stands complete, it is
as national as it is unique in its charm, and the Ger–
man nature is presented most advantageously in it.”
Goethe gave large acknowledgment to Voss for the
impulse which led him to write Hermann und Doro-
thea. “This,” said Goethe, “ is Voss' merit, without
whose Luise this poem could not have arisen. Voss

by the epic treatment of the family of a country parson
has given an intelligent hint of where our epic be-
longs. But his Luise can be no real heroic poem,
because it lacks all continuity, all consistency, for, by
a far too detailed painting of the smaller hors
d'oeuvres, he has destroyed the epic effect.” - Voss is
also highly praised in the Elegie, Hermann und Do-
rothea. -
Goethe, in describing his days in Strassburg when
Herder exercised so fruitful an influence upon him,
Speaks of his first acquaintance with the Vicar of
Wakefield, and adds: “A Protestant country pastor is
perhaps the finest subject for a modern idyl.”
Voss had won distinction by his translation of Ho-
mer, the first volume of which, the Odyssey, possessed
a naturalness, fidelity, and beauty which won uni-
versal recognition. While there are inequalities in the
rendering, and occasionally foreign and uncouth terms
and expressions, it still remains one of the most
valuable reproductions of the Greek bard.
Hermann und Dorothea was not welcomed by many
of the friends of Voss. Many regarded it as an at-
tempt to rival Voss in a field which was distinctly his
own, and to reproduce in classical form scenes from
modern life. Voss himself was sensitive at the success
of Goethe's work. “He had feared that Hermann und
Dorothea would cause his Luise to be forgotten; this

INTRODUCTION 33
had not proved to be the case, but it contained single
passages for which he would give his entire Luise.
That Goethe could not compare with him in the writ-
ing of hexameters was no fault of his, since that was
not his business, nevertheless he regarded Goethe's
latest hexameters as far more perfect.” Schiller added:
“It is evident that he has not the remotest idea of the
inner spirit of the poem, and consequently can have
none of the spirit of poetry in general; in short, he
possesses no general and independent power, but simply
an art instinct such as the bird has for its nest, or the
beaver for its house.”
“Voss is finally convinced that he alone can and
ought to make hexameters. My poem (Hermann und
Dorothea) seems not to have had the same favorable
influence upon him that his had upon me, as I see from
these reports. I still recall the pure enthusiasm with
which I took up the Pastor of Grünau (later the
Luise), when it was first published in the Merkur,
how often I read it aloud so that I still know a large
part of it by heart, and I rejoiced greatly in it; for
this joy finally became fruitful in my case, and at-
tracted me to the style of poetry which produced Her-
mann, and who knows what else may come out of it?
That Voss in return finds pleasure in my poem only as
a means of defending himself causes me great regret
for his sake; for what is there in all our petty poetry
if it does not animate us and make us receptive for
each and all? Would to God that I could again begin

Humboldt.

at the beginning, and leave all my works like worn-
out children's shoes behind me, and do something
better.”1 -
Klopstock, famous for his Messias, and the wonder
of a worshiping school of German writers, wrote un-
favorably of the new poem. Goethe and Schiller had
recently published the Xenien, which had aroused the
enmity of a great host of mediocre bards, who sought
to disparage the new production of one of the Weimar
poets. -
Schiller's estimate of Goethe's work and genius is
worthy to be quoted in full:—
“We have not in the meantime been inactive, as you
know, and least of all our friend (Goethe), who in
these last years has actually surpassed himself. You
have read his epic poem (Hermann und Dorothea),
and you will admit that it is the culmination of his
and all our modern art. I have seen it arise, and have
marveled as greatly at the manner of its origin as at
the work itself. While the rest of us must weari-
somely collect and test, in order to produce anything
tolerable, he needs only to shake the tree lightly to
cause the fairest fruits to fall ripe and heavy at his
feet. It is incredible with what ease he now garners
the fruits of a well-applied life, and of an enduring
culture, how significant and sure all his steps now are,
and how a clearness respecting himself and the objects
before him preserves him from all vain effort and

IV. IDYLLIC AND EPIC POETRY.
Idyllic poetry (eiðūXXtov, little picture or poem), at-
tained its early perfection in the poems of Theocritus,
a Greek lyrical singer, born in Syracuse about 300 B.C.,
and educated in Alexandria, of whose idyls about
twenty-five are preserved. The subjects of these
poems relate to country life, scenes among herdsmen,
the rural divinities, love, sports, the chase, each poem
constituting a picture complete in itself of a single
theme. These poems were true to nature and ex-
pressed with great delicacy of feeling. 2- - - " " ' ',
Epic poetry is narrative poetry describing the events
of the past, especially the heroic deeds of individuals
and of nations. It is, in its origin, one of the earliest
forms of poetry. The Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer
in Greek, the Aeneid of Virgil, the Nibelungenlied
and Klopstock's Messias in German, Dante's Divine
Comedy, and Milton's Paradise Lost, are representa-
tives of this type of poetry. There are national epics,
the records of the conflicts of a nation for existence,
as embodied in the lives of its heroes, legendary,
mythical and religious; there are also epics of cul-
ture, religious epics describing the soul-struggles of
an individual, or of the forces of light and darkness
in this world or the next, as in Paradise Lost; didactic
and comic epics, and animal epics, recording the con-
tests of beasts and attributing human struggles,
Scheming, ambition, and deceit to the life of animals.
If we ascribe to an idyl of country life such as
36 ©erm a m n u itb ºl or oth ea
Hermann und Dorothea an epic character, interpreting
as epic mere reminiscences of past struggle in the life
of Dorothea (VI, 90—I 18), references to contempo-
rary political events (VI, I–89), and consider the
slight victory over opposing forces illustrated in the
father's opposition to the marriage of his son as a
collision of opposing forces sufficient to mark an epic,
then the meaning of epic will be extended to embrace
a wide variety of poetry, and the mere form of the
verse or the setting of the poem will determine to
what class of poetry it belongs, and a simple tale of
common life will then acquire epic dignity and
grandeur. The prevailing verse in classical epics is
the hexameter. -
The discussion whether Hermann und Dorothea is
to be classified as an epic or an idyl has contributed
little to our knowledge of the characteristics or
essential features of either kind of poetry. The Ger-
mans include under the head of an epic historical
narratives in prose and even romances. Such ex-
tension of meaning, which ignores the necessity of
poetic form, obliterates the main distinction between
poetry and prose, and SO generalizes the meaning of
the term that it becomes practically valueless. In
English, the poetic form is regarded as essential to
the true epic. Goethe calls his poem both an idyl and
an epic. He first called it an idyl, later he spoke of
it generally, though not always, as an epic poem. As
such it is usually spoken of in Germany, though Cho-
1evius maintains strenuously its idyllic character.
INTRODUCTION 37
V. THE METRICAL FORM.
a. HEXAMETER VERSE.
The earliest writers of hexameters both in English
and German sought to reproduce classical forms not
only by employing syllables that were long by nature,
but also those that were long by position as preceding
two consonants. Such artificial verse is foreign to the
spirit of modern poetry, and its production is usually
a mere academic exercise. The ear cannot detect the
force of syllables long only by position, and these,
therefore, cannot form an element in modern verse.
The work of Opitz, Buch von der deutschen Poeterey
(1624) had recognized the true nature of modern
poetry, and he had established the fact that modern
verse was not based upon quantity, but upon accent,
that the rhythmic movement of verse depends upon
the uniform recurrence of certain accented syllables.
Attempts to write hexameters in German appeared
in the literature from the earliest in 1380 to the time
of Gottsched, the great dictator of the Leipzig school.
The latter in his Versuch einer critischen Dichtkunst
(1730), gives specimens of hexameter verse and says:
“As Milton in England has been able to write an
entire heroic poem without rimes, which is now ap-
plauded by the whole nation, it would not be impossible
even in German for a great intellect to bring some-
thing new into vogue. I am convinced that, if Opitz
38 § erm an it unb sorothea
had left any examples of this kind, he would have
been frequently followed therein without hesitation.”
Klopstock in his youth while a student in Jena and
Leipzig had been inspired to attempt a great religious
epic in hexameter verse, the Messiah, the first three
cantos of which he published in the Bremer Beiträge
in 1748. The complete volume was not issued until
1773, when he published his address to the Redeemer,
expressing his gratitude for the successful completion
of his work. Klopstock introduced a new era in Ger-
man poetry. A lyric movement, proceeding from
England and influenced by Macpherson's Ossian,
awakened a new enthusiasm for the historical past of
Germany, and Klopstock's trilogy of Hermanns-
Schlacht (1769), Hermann und die Fürsten (1784),
and Hermanns Tod in 1787, written in prose, though
interspersed with bardic songs and choruses, inspired
the German youth to similar attempts to reproduce
scenes of the heroic past.
Goethe apparently used the hexameter first in his
poem the Physiognomische Reisen (1778), in Antiker
Form sich máhernd (1782), and later in Reinecke
Fuchs (1794).
Goethe regarded the passion of his time for mere
rhythm without poetry as a disease.” And when Voss
sought not only to reproduce the verse, but the order
of the words in his translation of Homer, he said:
“We have frequently had the experience in Germany
* For the history of the hexameter before Klopstock, see
W. Wackernagel, Kleinere Schriften, Band II.
* An Knebel, I4. Mârz 1807.
INTRODUCTION 39
that fine talents have lost themselves in pedantry, and
this is the case with Voss; in exchange for pure
prosody all poetry has vanished from him.”
During the period in which Goethe was engaged
upon the poem, he was constantly occupied with the
study of the Greek and Latin poets, and with the theory
of epic poetry and verse.
“Classical verse was named from the number of feet
(measures) which it contained, and from the prevail-
ing foot; and was based upon the regular recurrence
of certain feet, which constituted rhythm, the uniform
flow of the verse. Every syllable might be considered
with reference to duration of tone (quantity), strength
of tone (stress or intonation), and elevation of tone
(accentuation or pitch). In every word of more than
one syllable, there is a chief accent (ictus), and there
may be subordinate accented syllables. Every sen-
tence has a main (sentence-) accent, to which the
word-accents are subordinate. Classical hexameter
verse contained six measures, the first four of which
might consist of dactyls, a foot of one long, and two
short syllables (— — —), or of spondees, two long syl-
lables (— —), while the fifth was regularly a dactyl,
and the sixth a spondee. The verse was divided into
two rhythmical sentences or movements of three
measures each by a pause called the caesura.”
In modern poetry, stress or accent has taken the
place of quantity, and a trochee has been substituted
for the spondee. The verse accent coincides usually
with the natural accent of the word. When an un-
* An Zelter, 22. Juni 1808.
40 ©erm am n umb 3) or of be a
usual or forced accent is placed before an obscure syl-
lable, the Smoothness of the verse is often impaired.
When in English a special stress is laid upon a long
Syllable, the adjacent syllables are naturally subordi-
nated, even though long. Thus in English the words
‘School' and ‘house' are both long; when combined, the
first syllable is stressed and the second is subordinated;
we thus say ‘school'house.’ So in German the word
aufſtieg, consisting of two long syllables, which Hum-
boldt pronounced “a splendid spondee,” became under
the influence of the accent a trochee (-, -).
“As the root syllable receives regularly the main
accent in German, the remaining syllables of deriva-
tion or inflection are less strongly pronounced. Many
words in themselves long, or receiving a certain em-
phasis in the sentence, were used as short by Goethe;
and conversely, the definite article, prepositions, and
insignificant words were occasionally accented in ac-
cordance with the demands of the verse. In certain
compound nouns the last component receives an ac-
cent, but slightly inferior to the first; Goethe often
treated these as short. Goethe uses the following in-
dependent words as short: jinb, I. 40; geºt, I. IOS;
fein, III. 99; as short or unaccented, brauſ, IV. 2 II;
ein, VI. 252; he accents bie, III. 86; ber, IV. 122; in,

INTRODUCTION 4 I
“The caesura in . Hermann und Dorothea occurs
usually after the accented syllable of the third or
fourth foot (masculine), or after the first unaccented
syllable of the third foot (feminine), and occasionally
after the fourth foot, the “bucolic caesura ;” subordi-
nate caesuras occur, especially after the accented Syl-
lable of the second foot. Goethe employs the caesura
very skilfully to give variety to his verse. It often
coincides with some grammatical or rhetorical division
or pause. It sometimes falls at the end of a simple
sentence (I. 4, 28, 7o); or it follows the verb, stand-
ing at the end of the first half of the sentence while
the subject follows (I. 22, 32, IOO); or it precedes an
infinitive (I. 208), or a participial clause (I. 67, 20I);
or a subordinate sentence (I. 9, 75, 87, 92); or the
Second part of a compound sentence (I. 28, 192); or
a phrase in apposition (I. Io, 55, 79); there is often
also a syntactic parallelism in the two parts of the
verse.”
Platen, whose verse is unsurpassed in perfection of
finish, and who is unexcelled in his mastery of classical
meters, found Goethe's verse in Hermann und Doro-
thea rugged:—

But if we except certain lines, the poem is so natural
in the movement of its verse that the form suggests
nothing Strange or unusual. Hexameter verse when
42 Šyer man n untb 3) or of be a
conforming to the laws of modern poetry can not be
felt as foreign or artificial.
Longfellow's Evangeline, which in subject and form
has much in common with Goethe's poem, is uni-
versally read and enjoyed. Mr. Longfellow's success
gainsays the playful depreciation of his own effort in
his note: “The motions of the English Muse (in the
hexameter) are not unlike those of a prisoner dancing
to the music of his own chains.” This poem, which
originally bore the name of Gabrielle, was begun No-
vember 28, 1845, and finished on February 27 of the
following year. Some of Mr. Longfellow's friends
were doubtful about the measure, but Mr. Longfellow
wrote: “To me it seems the only one for such a poem.”
Dr. Holmes wrote: “Of the longer poems of our chief
singer, I should not hesitate to select Evangeline as
the masterpiece, and I think the general verdict of
opinion would confirm my choice. The German model
which it follows in its measure and the character of
its story was itself suggested by an earlier idyl. If
Dorothea was the mother of Evangeline, Luise was
the mother of Dorothea. And what a beautiful creation
is the Acadian maiden | From the first line of the
poem, from its first words, we read as we float down a
broad and placid river, murmuring Softly against its
banks, heaven over it, and the glory of unspoiled wil-
derness all around,-
‘This is the forest primeval.’
The hexameter has often been criticised, but I do not
believe any other measure could have told that lovely
story with such effect as we feel when carried along

the tranquil current of these brimming, slow-moving,
soul-satisfying lines. Imagine for one moment a story
like this minced into octosyllablics. The poet knows
better than his critics the length of step which best
befits his muse.” Many poets have followed Mr. Long-
fellow in the use of hexameter verse.
b. CLASSICAL AND GERMAN HEXAMETERs.4
The proportion of dactyls to trochees (or spondees)
is as follows in Homer, Virgil, and in the earlier
writers of German hexameters, a dactyl being em-
ployed in the fifth and a trochee in the sixth foot.
The movement of the verse is affected by the pro-
portion of dactyls and trochees, by their position, and
by changes in their arrangement.

It thus appears that in Hermann und Dorothea the
proportion of trochees (or spondees) in the first foot
(73:27) is far greater than in any of the earlier
writers who employ heroic verse. As the verse begins
with a trochee, a dactyl usually follows for variety in
the second foot in the proportion of 80 to 20. In the
third foot the proportion is as 45 to 55, and in the
fourth as 42 to 58. In the third and fourth feet a
trochee is more common. In the fifth foot the dactyl
is employed and in the sixth the trochee. The verse .
of Hermann und Dorothea differs noticeably from
Goethe's earlier hexameters in Reinike Fuchs by the
increased use of the trochee in the third foot.
Goethe is distinguished from all other German poets
by his fondness for a trochee in the first foot of his
hexameters. In this respect he is more like the Latin
poets, especially Virgil, than Homer.
If we use t to indicate a trochee (or spondee, as the
case may be) and d a dactyl, Goethe's favorite form of
hexameter will be tdttdt, tddtdt, tdtddt. The trochee
and dactyl alternate in the fourth and fifth feet. The
first half of the verse admits of greater variety than the
second owing to the fixed character of the last two feet.
While the hexameter admits of five changes between
dactylic and trochaic feet, a single change (dddddt)
occurs in Homer in 18, in Voss' Luise in II, in Klop-
stock in Io, in Voss' Odyssey in 9 per cent. of the
verses, while in. Hermann und Dorothea such verses
occur in but 3 per cent., and in Reinike Fuchs in 4 per
cent. of the verses. The greatest possible change
(dtdidt) occurs in Voss' Odyssey in II per cent, in
Virgil in II, in Klopstock in 8, in Luise in 7, in Reinike
INTRODUCTION 45
Fuchs in 4%, in Hermann und Dorothea in 3 per cent.
of the verses.
Four changes (tdtdtt) occurs most often in Her-
mann und Dorothea, viz., in I3 per cent. Of the verses,
in Luise in II, in Reinike Fuchs in 8, in Voss' Odyssey
in 8, in Klopstock in 6, in Horace in 5.5, in Virgil in 4,
in Homer in but 3 per cent.
The proportion of feet of three syllables to those of
two is: in Homer, 68:32; Virgil, 40 :60; Klopstock in
the Messias, 61 :39; Voss in his Homer, 60:40, in the
Luise, 65:35; Goethe in Reinike Fuchs, 49:51 ; in Her-
mann und Dorothea, 51 :49. In Goethe's Reinike
Fuchs the spondees (trochees) attain almost an
equality with the dactyls, in Hermann und Dorothea
they slightly preponderate, 51 :49.
Klopstock favors the dactyl in the first three feet,
as does Homer; Voss' verse in his translation of Ho-
mer does not differ greatly from that of Klopstock in
the Messias; the verse in Voss' Luise shows a general
correspondence with that of the Messias but diverges
from it more than in his translation of Homer.
Goethe's verse in Hermann und Dorothea shows a
uniform change from the first to the second foot, the
trochee or the dactyl being seldom used in succession.
In the third and fourth feet the repetition of the
same foot is more common in Homer and in Virgil
than a change. Klopstock and Voss prefer a variety
of feet here. Goethe introduces a change of foot here
first in Hermann und Dorothea. There is a slight pre-
ponderance of trochees in the fourth foot in Klopstock
as he favors trochees.
Voss uses most often dactyls in the fourth and fifth
46 © er m an it um D 3) or 0 16e a
feet; Schlegel and Platen, following the Greek model
also prefer dactyls here. Schiller and Goethe, as well
as Virgil and Horace, prefer a variety here.
VI. GOETHE'S ELEGY OF HERMANN UND
DOROTHEA.
In the closing days of November or in the first days
of December, 1796, Goethe wrote his Elegy, entitled
Hermann und Dorothea. It was a defense against the
attacks which had been made upon him for the author-
ship of the Roman Elegies and the Venetian Epigrams.
It is of interest in connection with the idyl of the same
name, as it announces the appearance of the latter
poem, and proclaims it a poem of home life. He dis-
claims any ambition for loftier recognition as a poet,
but is grateful for lesser fame. He will introduce his
readers to their fellow-countrymen in their more quiet
homes, where man dwells near to nature, and men
grow to manhood in humane and sympathetic relations.
He pays a tribute to Wolf for his interpretation of
Homer, and to Voss for his poem of Luise, to which
he had been incalculably indebted. As a poem narrat-
ing the stormy times of the French Revolution, his
idyl will unfold the sad pictures of that time. The
experience of those days and the lessons of the cen-
tury now drawing near its close has taught them wis-
dom. Past sorrows become illuminated in the light of
the new dawn. Even though loss has attended them,
men have learned to know one another and the nations
have found a common bond. But true joy is only to
be found within, in the life of the Soul.

scorned the vain mask of hypocrisy P Of Such errors
as these the rabble accuses me, which sees within me
only what is base, errors which thou, O Muse, hast
cherished within me. Indeed, even those who are
better, the kindly disposed and upright, would have
me different, but thou, O Muse of song, alone holdest
sway over me. Thou alone renewest my youth and
wilt preserve it to the end. But now, O Goddess, re-
double thy sacred care. Alas, youthful locks no longer
wave around iny brow as formerly, and one needs the
laurels of verse to give to himself and to others the
illusions of youth. Caesar himself wore a wreath of
laurel only from necessity. If thou hast destined for
me a laurel wreath, leave it to grow green on its
branch, and bestow it hereafter on one who is more
worthy. But roses of love entwine for me for a song
of home; soon silvery locks like a lily will cluster
among them. May the wife brighten the flame as she
cooks at the cleanly hearth, and the lad as he sports

F. TRANSLATIONS
The earliest translation into English was that by
Thomas Holcroft, a friend and correspondent of
Goethe, in 1801. Other versions are those by William
Whewell in 1839; Charles Tomlinson, 1848; M. Win-
ter, 1850; J. Cochrane, 1853; Thomas Conrad Porter,
1854, prose, probably the first American translator;
H. Dale, 1859; J. Cartwright, 1862; Ellen Frothing-
ham, 1870, a faithful and poetic version, perhaps the
best English translation; M. J. Teesdale, 1874; G.
Kreyenberg, in prose without date. A translation by
J. C. Mellish referred to several times by Goethe (see
BIBLIOGRAPHY 57
Gräf, Epos II, Ss. I54, 155, 163, 171) was never pub-
lished. This volume in manuscript, dedicated to the
Duchess Luise, dated 1799, has been recently dis-
covered in the Grand Ducal Library in Weimar. The
translation, though of interest to the Weimar circle,
has little merit.
All the histories of German literature contain esti-
mates of Hermann und Dorothea in their descriptions
of Goethe's works.
Goethe's poem of Hermann und Dorothea has ap-
pealed to numerous painters and engravers. Among
the earliest was the famous Chodowiecki, and later,
Moritz Retsch, the well-known illustrator of Faust,
whose illustrations were published in the Minerva,
1821—29 and 1831. Among the best illustrations are
those by Wilhelm Ramberg and Ludwig Richter. All
the illustrated editions of Goethe's works contain
pictures from Hermann und Dorothea. It cannot be
said that these views have as a whole been successful,
or are of permanent artistic value. They have not, in
most cases, contributed to our appreciation of the
poem. Many have been crude and matter of fact in
conception and execution; others have been purely
mechanical in their treatment and without imagination
or poetic feeling.
Tºtalliope
The poem was originally divided into six cantos; later,
upon its completion, it was arranged in nine cantos, and
the name of one of the Nine Muses placed at the head of
each canto. A sub-title containing the subject of the
canto was placed below.
Hesiod in his Theogony (77) gives the names and order
of the Muses as: Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terp-
sichore, Erato, Polymnia, Urania, and Calliope. Herodotus
placed the name of one of these Muses in this order at
the beginning of each of the nine books of his history.
Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry, stands naturally at
the opening of the poem.

Io. iiberröeiniidje: the land west of the Rhine. The
refugees fled at the advance of the French armies. Goethe
sought to introduce in his idyl historical events of world-
wide significance as reflected in the fortunes of individual
lives. (See his letter to Meyer of Dec. 5, 1796, p. 28.) The
post-position of the adjective, following its noun, is epic,
and is a striking peculiarity of the poem. See ll. Io, 17,
66, 189; II. 77; III. 81 ; IV. 53, etc.
13-14. fortzidjićfeit would be written as one word in
prose. This is an unusual case of the division of a word
at the end of a line (§ortfrennung or $ortſpaſtung).
When the sensé does not pause at the end of the line,
but is run on as in 11. 8, II, 13, etc., it bears the French
term enjambe vent.
16. maā =, inie.
17, bequeſtſidj = bequent: Goethe has a preference
throughout the poem for adjectives and adverbs in –Itd),
as: moffſöeflagſtd), 1. 21 ; traulid), II. 5; fróñſicſ), II. 8;

I8. ©áBen: might sit, that is, if required.
I9. roſt' or rotºt: the texts differ here; in one case the
meaning is how neatly it (the carriage) made the turn of
the corner, that is, when Hermann drove away. In the
second case, roſſt, the meaning would be, how skilfully it
is adapted to make the sudden and abrupt turns in the
narrow streets of the little village.
20. This line illustrates the frequent separation of the
limiting phrase from the noun on which it depends; am
302arffe limits beg Shauffeå, and the whole line would be in
prose, unter bem £ore beć am Jęartie geſegemen $5auješ
fiberto. For another example see IV. .16-ºpre: the Žor
was an archway opening into the court in the rear of the
house, through which access to the stables was attained.
From this archway the doors open which furnish admission
to the main parts of the house. This was the arch which
was left standing after the fire, which corſsumed the ind in
the landlord’s early manhood. See II. I.43; V. I42. There
is a similar archway in the Lion Inn at Ilmenau and in
several of the inns at Weimar.
21. 2800ſbehaglid): epithets compounded with mobia, in

benen $35men: of the Golden Lion; see also the name of
the apothecary’s office, “at the sign of the Archangel
Michael,” III. Ioz. There was an inn of the Golden Lion
at Ilmenau in Thuringia, which Goethe visited almost every
summer, and where he spent the last birthday of his life.
His room is still shown in this inn. Schiller early called
attention to the resemblances between Ilmenau and the
little town described as the home of Hermann. See his
1etter to Goethe of Oct. 31, 1796, in which he says, “You
will find there the little town of your Hermann and an
apothecary; a green house with stucco is also there.” The
host of the Golden Lion resembles in many respects
Goethe's father, who exhibited a sort of rustic pride and
reserve. He was irascible, methodical, neat in dress, and
preserved carefully every article of his costume for many
years. He was much older than his wife.
22, bie fluge, perſtänbige $5auðfrant: Goethe uses, in
imitation of Homer, certain fixed epithets characterizing
his heroes; thus Hermann's mother is also called , bie
mirbige" and , bie gute"; the host, ,ber treffſidje", , ber
menidjlicje”, also , ber gute 98ater"; the pastor, ,ber eble",
,, perſtänbige", and , trefflict)e $farrer"; and Dorothea,
, flugeå", , freifſicſ}c3", , miſſige?" and , guteå" ?)?ábcſ) cut;
the judge is , trefflicſ)e", , aſte", , mirbige", etc. These
terms describe at times permanent characteristics, occasion-
ally the mood or quality of the actor in a given moment,
as beg miſſigen 30?&bdjenä, VII, 97. Certain fixed formulas
often begin a sentence, as limb ea jagte barquÍ, I. 44, 78,
I51 ; $)d perješte, II. I58, 197, 238. So also limb e3 perz
jebte, III. 67, etc. Q3erjetsen is the more common verb for
answer throughout the poem. Similarly er, jie, or ea alſo
jpract), jagte, etc., are used to introduce a reply.

described as a young man approaching his prime. This
characterization of the pastor and careful analysis of his
qualities is the only one in the poem. The remaining
actors are known by their words and deeds. Herder,
whose acquaintance Goethe made at the University of
Strassburg (1770), at this time 26 years of age, has often
been suggested as the original of this picture.
80. §§rer = feinter §§rer or 81156rer; the latter term is
most often used of an auditor, one who listens to a sermon

Šmmer and nur are placed after maā and mer to make
them more general. In the pastor's view, the pure and
spontaneous impulses of human nature lead to truth, and
guide to action, when pure reason would be powerless to
direct.
86. Notice the alliteration in this line: 98erſtanb, 98ere
munit, permögen, and permag.

the Salian Franks, subsequently conquered northern Gaul
and founded the Merovingian dynasty in France; a second
branch settled on the Rhine between Cologne and Mainz

forming the Ripuarian Franks. The word Franks came
again into vogue in the French Revolution, as also ,9teuz
franfen", and was even applied to the Germans who sup-
ported the French Revolution.
195. aſſberffinbernber: a word probably coined by Goethe.
It might be inferred that the French had not crossed the
Rhine when this passage was written, but this is probably
incorrect, as Moreau crossed the Rhine at Kehl in June,
1796, and overran Swabia, and Jourdan had already been
victorious on the lower Rhine.
I97. ppſte: pret. subjunctive.
198. aſſeå beutet auf Şrieben. The German states acted
independently in negotiating peace with Napoleon; Wür-
temberg arranged a truce in June and a definite treaty
Aug. 7; Baden, Aug. I5; and the Upper Saxon Circle,
Aug. 13, 1796. The preliminary peace of Loeben with
Austria was signed April 18, 1796 and the formal treaty
of Campo Formio between Austria and the French Re-
public, Oct. 17, 1797, just a few months after the poem
was finished.

and the solemn notes of the organ were mingled with the

2OI. The Te Deum was an early Christian anthem, as-
cribed to St. Ambrose: “We praise thee, O God; we
acknowledge thee to be the Lord,” etc. The first lines
Were :
Te Deum laudamus,
te dominum confitemur,

in certain fixed geographical names, as bie Stieberlanbe,

Sãmber, countries, estates, is the more general and usual
form.

The lines 2II-2I3 give a vivid, almost onomatopoeic close
to the canto. The tramp of the horses, the rattle of the
carriage, and the thunder of its approach as it rolls in
mighty haste under the resounding gateway, are admirably
depicted. -

228. Gºr: the use of the pronoun of the third person for
the second. This use of pronouns was in part due to a
reference to a title, Ser §err, Šffre ($nabe. It was thus
at first more honorable than tºr; it then sank in value until
it was applied only to inferiors and with a touch of con-
tempt, and was thus used until after the middle of the
eighteenth century. Frederick the First was addressed
with Gär by his children, even on his deathbed (1713).

in, nothing comes forth; also, ,98qā im Jºenidjen midfit iſt,
bač fann man midſt auá iſ m (Öcrauá2)friegent", one cannot
get out of a man what is not in him.
5. Goethe says that it is the desire of all good parents
to see realized in the case of their sons what their own
lives have lacked, that they may, as it were, live again,
and thus reap the benefit of their own earlier
experience. Dichtung und Wahrheit, Buch I. Werke
XXVI. p. 44. Homer represents the Trojan hero, Hector,
before his departure from Andromache, as taking his son
Astyanax in his arms and praying to Zeus and the other
gods that they would give him renown, so that men here-
after should say that he was better than his father.
Goethe's own father said of him, “If thou were not my
son I could envy thee.”

membrance of this journey and the objects of art which
he had collected constituted a frequent subject of con-
versation with his son. He wished for the latter a similar
experience of travel in Germany, France, and Italy, Dich-
tung und Wahrheit, I. 47. In Wilhelm Meister, Goethe
says that the best education is found in travel. Lehrjahre,

23, 24. The host mentions several leading cities in his
vicinity. Strasburg was famous for its cathedral and its
university, and here Goethe finished his legal studies;
Frankfurt, the famous mediaeval city where the German
emperors were crowned, was the poet’s birthplace; Mann-
heim, on the Neckar where it enters the Rhine, had been
destroyed by the French in the devastation of the Pal-
atinate in 1688, and rebuilt “like a chessboard” in blocks,
with streets running at right angles, in 1699. It was
therefore famous among all the cities of Germany, for its
bright, symmetrical, and modern character, and for the

90. Numerous artificial grottoes after the pattern of
those in the French parks were erected in private grounds
in Germany in the eighteenth century. The rococo style
here referred to was the decadence of the renaissance,
when buildings were loaded with excess of ornament, and
a pure chaste taste was lost in an extravagance of decora-
tion with fruits, flowers, genii, and classical symbolism.

strong, and IV. 98, bie Šēraft ber beliticſ}en Šugenb, the
flower of the German youth.
52. 3miſcſ)en ben äctern : many fields in Germany are cul-
tivated in longitudinal strips or bands, upon each of which
a separate crop is raised. The many colors of the different
bands form a picturesque feature of the landscape. The
fields are divided by a raised border (9tain).
53. The mention of the pear tree suggests a passage in
Homer's Odyssey, when Ulysses, returning from his wan-
derings, seeks his aged father, whom he discovers in his
garden. Overcome by the sight, he rests for a moment,
weeping in the shade of a pear tree.

character of this description, epic in its main features, in

IO5. Goethe's personal qualities and habits of thought
... appear throughout the poem in the language of the different
actors, or in observations upon current situations. Too
long reflection when the motive of action is apparent is,
in his view, weakness. Cholevius quotes Lessing as saying
that resolutions taken on the spur of the moment are not
always the wisest, but are certainly the most honest. Com-
pare also V. 57–60. -

and is, perhaps, the strongest testimony to Goethe's
patriotic feelings in all his writings.

125. Goethe uses bringen repeatedly as transitive in the
poem, where brängen is now required; see II. 32; VI. 87.
128. Goethe's lines in Tasso are often quoted to illustrate
his views of the distinction between genius and character,
,,G#3 hiſbet ein ºaſent ſid) in ber ©tiſſe,

Act. I. Sc. 2,
Genius is trained in silence, character amid the storms of

189. This description of Hermann's room is not unlike
that of Goethe's which he occupied in the Goethe house in
the Hirschgraben in Frankfurt. It was a $)adjítube, and
from it Goethe watched both the rising and the setting
sun. He followed the birds in their flights, and was often
filled with unutterable longing for the distant and the
unattained. Dichtung und Wahrheit, Buch I. Werke, 26,

$)er 98elfbirger, cosmopolitan, is the spirit of universal
citizenship and brotherhood which the French Revolution
spread through Europe.
I. The poem resumes the conversation interrupted at
the close of the third canto; nod immer modifies ſaben,
they continued seated.
2. bent geiſtſidjen Šerrn : more formal and dignified than
$farrer, as a designation of the pastor.
5. brauf goes with perjebte; it relates to the remark of
the landlord.
6. §§iberipredjen resumes the conversation of the group
in the inn and is emphatic; it refers to III. 66 ff.; compare
the passage I. 90-92.
6-8. Man seeks first the novel, the curious; then, with

Io. Goethe believed that the preservation of all the good
in existing institutions was inseparable from any true
progress. He distrusted reform and revolution when they
involved the destruction of the tried, the established,
where there was no assurance of improvement, or evils,
the full consequences of which could not be fathomed in
advance.

76. Goethe here describes the part of responsibility in
the development of character; affection with its capacity
for sacrifice causes the youth to ripen to broader responsi-

82. Suetonius relates that the Emperor Augustus often
repeated in Greek in daily life, such expressions as “Make

Zahme Xenien, II. 64.
Like as a star
That maketh not haste,
That taketh not rest,
Be each fulfilling his God-given hest.
Translated by Carlyle.
All the German dialects have similar proverbs, and the
sermons and didactic lore of the middle ages are full of
similar warnings respecting the danger of haste, as: , Śe
gröber ©iſ', je minber §§erf", the greater haste, the less
accomplished ; , Gºdjſecót geeiſt it off permeiſt", overhaste
is delay; ,98er 311 faſt eiſet, ber fompt ſangjam beiym", he
who hastens too much reaches home tardily.

suffering by her helpfulness to others, and her forgetful-

swift-moving steeds. See IV. 9, 141. Under the influence
of classical, largely of Homeric study, the use of abstract w
nouns for the concrete and for adjectives characterizing
the noun became very common in the eighteenth century.
Similarly, abstract nouns signifying force were personified,
and nouns denoting quality were used for concrete nouns.
Such use of abstract nouns for the concrete is constantly
occurring in the modern languages, also in early German,
where there can be no suggestion of classical influence;
compare Sjööe, highness and height, 98ſäue, blueness, for
$8ſque, blue, etc.

I55. The city of Wetzlar on the Lahn corresponds to
many descriptions in the poem, with market place, fountain,
walls and towers, and the winding valley below. Just out-
side the walls toward Garbenheim there is a spring “shaded
by the venerable gloom of majestic lindens,” reached by
stone steps, and with a flat basin surrounded by a stone
enclosure or parapet. Goethe says: “Just outside the
town, there is a spring, a spring that holds one spell-
bound, as Melusine and her sisters were held. You go
down a little slope and find yourself before an arched
recess, to which twenty steps descend, at the bottom of
which the clearest water gushes from marble rocks. The
little parapet which constitutes the surrounding enclosure,

I69. The description which Goethe gives in Dichtung
wºnd Wahrheit, Buch X, of his first meeting with Friederike
Brion, the maiden of Alsace, reads like the original of this
description. Goethe thus describes the costume of the
daughter of Pastor Brion at Sesenheim : “Both the
daughters wore the German costume, as it was customary
to call it, and this national garb, now displaced, was
especially becoming to Friederike. A short, white, and
round skirt with a border, not so long but that the
prettiest little feet were visible to the ankles, a snugly-
fitting white bodice, and a black taffeta apron, thus she
stood on the boundary line between a girl of the country
and the city.”

I5. Many of the poets of Germany hailed the French
Revolution as the dawn of a new era. Klopstock, es-
pecially, and his disciples pronounced the Revolution as
the noblest, grandest deed of the century. In his ode,
Die États Généraux (1788), he says that France had
placed a crown of citizenship upon its brow such as never
before existed. Many of the leading German scholars and
authors, such as Fichte, Voss, Friedrich von Stolberg and
others hailed it as the dawn of a new and better era.
*17. Among the illustrious names associated with the
dream of a new humanity were Lafayette, Mirabeau,
Sieyes, La Rochefoucauld, and others; 380tidjaft was the
proclamation of the rights of man referred to in II. 9
and IO.

Republicans marched to the market place, accompanied by
the band of the army, bearing the liberty tree adorned
with the tri-color and surmounted by a liberty cap, and,
singing hymns of liberty, planted the tree in place of the
former insignia of monarchy, while the people cried sin
increasing jubilation, “Long live liberty Long live the
Republic l’ Chuquet. Liberty trees were erected in the
American colonies at the time of the American Revo-
lution.

69. The Austrians and Prussians recaptured Mainz in
1793 and restored independence to the inhabitants west of
the Rhine. In the following year in May the German
armies were driven across the Rhine. The French de-
vastated with such cruelty that the agents of the Con-
vention reported that they had left to the inhabitants noth-
ing save their eyes to enable them to weep over their
misery. Goethe had seen the horrors inflicted upon the
inhabitants of a country by a retreating army during his
campaign in France in 1792. See his account, Campagne
in Frankreich, Sept. 29—Okt. I2, Werke, Bd. XXXIII.

I63. One form of this proverb is , ºralt' niemtanb, but
babeſt benn ein &djeffeſ Gaſa nuit iſ m gegeſien." The same
proverb is found in Latin and Greek. Luther quotes this
proverb in his Tischreden, 78, 8, , (33 foſſ feiner eiten ant-
bern fir feinent bertraitten śreunb baſten, er fiabe benn
3upor einen &cſ,effeſ &aſø mit thm gegeſien." One should
regard no one as his intimate friend until he has eaten a

many European languages.

between the fate of Dorothea's betrothed and Adam Lux,
a young Clubiste of Mainz, who went to Paris full of
enthusiasm for the French Republic but who, shocked at
the heartlessness and rapacity of the leaders, published an
address to the citizens of France attacking the “Mountain,”
the party of Danton, Marat, and Robespierre, and was sub-
sequently executed upon the guillotine.

I95. Gºdjuſée: the head of a village community in North
Germany. This is the usual title of this officer, though
©djuſtóeiß is also used, 1. I 14, which, however, often refers
particularly to a mediaeval official, a magistrate acting
under a count.—ben $fennig; at present the smallest Ger-
man copper coin, one hundred of which make a mark of
the value of twenty-four cents. The pastor really gives a
gold coin but he disparages the gift as trifling since the
need is so great. -
198. §aſer: dollar; this word, found in so many
languages, gets its name from £al, valley, as it was first
coined in Joachimstal in Bohemia (1518) by the Counts of
Schlick. It was also called a “lion dollar” from the lion
stamped upon it in certain issues, as in Faust, 11. 3313-16.

293. ibn fitórte: ibn refers to §ußipeg, and is the accus.
of space passed over. Thus Goethe wrote this line. By
an error in printing in a pirated edition, the letters of ibn
were transposed and the reading binfiiffrte introduced. A
second unauthorized reprint changed bin— to jeim, jeim–
filjrte, and thus it is usually printed.
298. This personal address on the part of the pastor,
interpreting and suggesting a timidity which the latter
might wish to conceal produces a droll effect when thus
introduced. For a parallel use see 1. 3OI, also VII. I73.
Similar unexpected, quoted, or aside remarks occur in
Homer.

307. The pastor had been the traveling tutor of a young
nobleman at the university, a quite common custom through
the middle ages. Similarly, Herder accompanied the
Prince of Eutin to Strassburg in 1771, when he made
Goethe’s acquaintance. This is one of the points which
some editors cite, who hold that Herder was the original
of the young pastor in the poem.

from the platform of the cathedral, when a student. Dich-

As Hermann is the subject of the second canto, which
bears his name and in which he appears as an actor for
the first time, so this canto bears the name of Dorothea,
who is here an actor and no longer known only by de-
scription.
2. fabte = the perfect, gefańt jat.
4. This is the only elaborate simile of the poem. After
looking at a brilliant object, the eye, even if closed, retains
for a moment the impression of the object. So Hermann,
though separated, sees only the beautiful form of the
maiden. Goethe had studied profoundly and with endless
experiments for many years the nature of light, and how
light is modified or retained by various media, and how
color, pure or associated, is produced. Hence, to him, the
naturalness of the illustration.—ipoffin er. . .mur membet:

I IO-II2. Goethe's Werther contains a similar incident,
“Not long since I went to the fountain and found a young
servant girl there who had placed her jar upon the lowest
step and was looking around to see whether any one of her
companions might be approaching to help her put it upon
her head. I went down the steps and looked at her. “Shall
I help you, my good girl?' I said. She blushed. ‘O no,
Sir l’ she said. “Come, come, no ceremony l’ She adjusted
the cushion on her head and I helped her with the jar.
She thanked me and went up the steps.” Buch I, Am
15. Mai. Werke, 19, S. II.

Dorothea's departure of any suggestion of withdrawal in

The title, WJReſpontene, the Muse of tragedy, was chosen
to indicate the doubt and gloom in the heart of the lovers,
and the uncertainty of the future which was opening be-
fore them. The first four lines of this canto are regarded
as almost perfect; the simplicity and naturalness of the
opening, the graphic description of the approaching Storm,
the intermittent flashes of lightning foreboding the coming
tempest, cannot be surpassed.
3. 8ſicfen = 98ſiben: flashes, with a suggestion of the
earlier meaning of the word.

Urania was the heavenly Muse, the Muse of astronomy,
represented with a staff pointing to a globe; Quáſicºt, the
future. Both titles were chosen intentionally to embody
the theme of the canto. The epic poets frequently invoked
the Muses at the beginning of their poems, and also at the
introduction of a new situation or series of events, asking
help that the poet might be assisted to complete worthily
his task.
8. erſt = effen erſt, or foeben.

46–50. The ancients represented death as sleep, often
symbolically by a beautiful boy with inverted torch.
Lessing’s brief treatise on “How the Ancients Depicted
Death” had a wide influence and may be supposed to have
affected this description. These lines were placed in
letters of gold over the parted curtains above Goethe's
coffin in the hall of his house at the time of his funeral.

EXPLANATIONS
In nouns, the genitive singular when it differs from the
nominative, and the nominative plural are given. Strong
plurals are indicated by —e and by *, *e, or “er when a
mutated vowel occurs, weak forms by —ſe] it.
A dash indicates that the title word is to be supplied;
with nouns, it shows that the plural form is like the
Singular.
The principal parts of strong verbs are given. In
separable verbs, the prefix is not to be repeated, but is to
be understood in its proper position with all parts. Şaben
is the auxiliary of all transitive (including reflexive), im–
personal, modal auxiliary, and all intransitive verbs, unless
the auxiliary is indicated by j, or ; and 6. Many transitive
verbs may also be used intransitively and reflexively. Many
participles of transitive verbs, used in the predicate, and
denoting a state or condition into which the subject has
passed, are used with ſein.
As any infinitive may be used substantively, as well as
any adjective, it has not seemed necessary specially to
mention such use, unless it constitutes a fixed form. As
most adjectives may be used adverbially without change
of form, and have the same meaning, they are not separately
noted in the vocabulary.
As German words are usually accented on the radical
Syllable, and as all separable prefixes are regarded as
accented, the accent is not specially indicated in these
obvious cases. In compound words the accent falls on
the determinative component, as G5dju'ſſauá. Words with
prefixes which are usually separable, when the latter are
used inseparably, have the accent on the root word.
The Several groups of meanings in a word are separated
by a semicolon.

TWO GERMAN READERS
By MENCO STERN
Geschichten vom Rhein . . . . . . . $o.85
Geschichten von Deutschen Städten . . . . I. 25
HESE two collections of stories are designed to
arouse and stimulate the pupil’s interest, not only
while he is struggling with the difficulties of German
grammar, but even after he has successfully completed the
study. They make him acquainted with the German
people, and describe faithfully the various sections of the
German Empire.
* These volumes, each containing nearly one hundred
stories, furnish interesting reading-matter, and include,
besides, valuable suggestive material for exercises in con-
versation and composition. While each chapter is com-
plete in itself, yet, taken together, they form a complete
whole, and afford a good general acquaintance with the
scenes in which they are laid. In Geschichten von
Deutschen Städten, the stories commence with the cities
on the coast of the North Sea, and progress through the
leading towns of the German Empire. In Geschichten
vom Rhein, the reader starts from the source of the Rhine,
and follows it throughout its course. These sketches all
portray the romance of Germany—its scenery, cities,
castles, and homes, interweaving with the descriptions the
legends and folk-lore of the people. They do not, how-
ever, consist of fiction only, but furnish also many facts of
historical, geographical, and literary importance. The
carefully compiled vocabularies furnish ample aid. The
maps help show the significance of the tales.

A BRIEF GERMAN COURSE

Normal College of the City of New York, and
FREDERICK MONTESER, Ph.D., First Assist-
ant in German, DeWitt Clinton High School, New
York -
ANY valuable features differentiate the Brief Ger-
man Course from the conventional beginners’ book
in German. Each lesson contains one or more
topics of grammar, a special vocabulary, and exercises in
reading and writing German, with such suggestions and
helps for the student as are needed. The arrangement of
the subject-matter has been determined by pedagogic con-
siderations and practical experience. The recommenda-
tions of the Modern Language Association have been
followed.
*|| To secure to the pupil variety and interest in his work,
and to facilitate their mastery, the difficulties of declension
and conjugation are introduced gradually. Elementary
syntax is treated from the beginning in immediate connec-
tion with the study of forms. The transition from dis-
connected sentences to connected reading is made simple
by the use of real idiomatic German sentences.
*|| Frequent review lessons are given, containing gram-
matical questions, interesting reading matter, both prose
and verse, and exercises in conversation. The reading
matter is written in an easy, fluent style, and illustrates
German life, history, geography, and literature. The
book includes complete German-English and English-Ger-
man vocabularies, an appendix of collected paradigms of
declensions and conjugations, and an index.

By ANTOINE MUZZARELLI, Officier d’Académie,
Professor of Modern Languages and Literature
HE Brief French Course is intended for all students
who can give but one year to the study of French,
as required by the leading colleges and universities,
and also fully meets the demands of college instructors for
a brief but comprehensive manual. The work combines
clearness and simplicity with completeness and thorough-
ness. Good judgment has been exercised in selecting for
treatment only the most essential rules of syntax and the
most important principles of grammar. The essential
rules of French and English syntax are contrasted in such
a way as to bring out most clearly the great differences in
the two languages.
* The exercises in reading and writing French are bright
and breezy, and embody French as it is used to-day.
They furnish abundant practice on the topics discussed,
and give the student an intelligent understanding of the
difficulties of syntax. Because of the interesting nature
and great variety of their words and phrases, these exercises
are unusually helpful and instructive. The appendix con-
tains those rules of syntax that have been purposely omitted
from the body of the work. It gives also a complete list of
irregular verbs conjugated in all their tenses, moods, and per-
sons. The book incorporates the new laws of syntax offi-
cially promulgated by the Minister of Public Instruction of the
French Republic and approved by the Académie Française.

COMPOSITION
By VICTOR E. FRANÇOIS, Instructor in French,
College of the City of New York
Introductory French Prose Composition . . . . . . . $o. 2;
Advanced French Prose Composition . . . . . . . .86
HE INTRODUCTORY FRENCH PROSE
COMPOSITION is designed for students with
some knowledge of French grammar—that is, in
the second year in the high school, or the second term in
college, although it may be used satisfactorily earlier in the
course. Part I presents a systematic review of the elements
of French grammar by means of an original narrative, and
Part II contains an adapted story. The progressive ex-
ercises in grammar, transposition, and translation, the
general review, and the vocabulary are all arranged for
interesting and effective work.
* The ADVANCED FRENCH PROSE COMPOSI-
TION is intended for the third and fourth years in high
schools, or for the second year in colleges, and may be
used with any complete grammar. Each exercise in Part
I includes the rules of grammar to be reviewed, a list of
verbs with the required preposition, a portion of French
text, work in transposition, questions to be asked the
student, and an English passage for translation into French.
For Part II the author has chosen an interesting subject,
“A Stranger Visiting Paris,” and has based upon it
numerous French and English passages for translation, in
this way imparting much valuable information about that
city.
