Goethe on Shakespeare / Goethe über Shakespeare. A parallel text edition of Goethe’s writings on Shakespeare.

‘Zum Shakespeares-Tag’ (1771) and ‘Shakespeare und kein Ende’ (1813–16/1826), familiar to generations of German-speaking Bardolators and Goethe-worshippers, are now at last available together in English in this handy, handsome facing-page edition. The translators are eminent: Michael Hofmann and David Constantine. Each supplies a half-page note, and Rüdiger Görner an 8-page afterword, translated from German by Stefan Tobler.
