An authoritative English translation of one of the most important works in the history of the novelWilhelm Meisters Apprenticeship (17951796), Goethes second novel, is a foundational work in the history of the genreperhaps the first Bildungsroman, a comingofage story focusing on the growth and selfrealization of the main character. The story centers on Wilhelm, a young man living in the mid1700s who strives to break free from the restrictive bourgeois world of his upbringing and seek fulfillment as an actor and playwright. Goethes novel had a huge impact on the Romantics. Hegel, Schelling, Novalis, and Schopenhauer considered it one of the most important novels yet written. Schlegel famously called it one of the three tendencies of the age, along with the French Revolution and the philosophy of Fichte. And Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann composed songs to poems from the novel. It also had a major influence on nineteenthcentury British writers, including Thomas Carlyle, who was its first English translator, and George Eliot. Drawn from Princetons authoritative collected works of Goethe, this is the definitive English version of a landmark of world literature.
