But until now it has never been thoroughly explored or evaluated. Deidre Vincent examines the two versions of Werther in the context of Geothe's personal life in the intervening years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoethe wrote and published the original version of this novel to great acclaim throughout Europe in 1774, drawing on the experience of a traumatic love affair he had had in Wetzlar in 1772. When the revised work was published some thirteen years later, the public saw the second version as little more than a reissuing of the original, and scholars over the past two centuries have persisted in this view. Vincent analyses Goethe's mode of writing and the role that literary creativity played for him during the first ten years or so in Weimar. She reveals how greatly the second version differs from the first, and challenges conventional explanations for the changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincent sheds new light on Werther and on some of Goether's other important works written between 1776 and 1789. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deirdre Vincent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487584997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487584993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Deirdre Vincent","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518642204927,"sku":"9781487584993","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ff8dee1-c42b-4774-bbd3-1cdd02a785b5.jpg?v=1778735088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/werthers-goethe-and-the-game-deirdre-vincent-9781487584993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
