Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship

"Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship" affords a distinct view of Goethe's matured genius, his manner of thought and favorite subjects -- more so, perhaps, than any of his other works. Nor is it Goethe alone whom it portrays; the prevailing taste of Germany of the day is likewise indicated by it. Since the year 1795, when it first appeared at Berlin, numerous editions of "Meister" have been printed: critics of all ranks, and some of them dissenting widely from its doctrines, have loaded it with encomiums; its songs and poems are familiar to every German ear; the people read it, and speak of it, with an admiration approaching in many cases to enthusiasm.Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von is the author of 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship', published 2007 under ISBN 9781603129657 and ISBN 1603129650.
