What is Goethe, Poems and Epigrams about?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is mainly known in the English-speaking world as the poet of `Faust'. His other poetry, for all its richness and variety, has received comparatively little attention, and English versions of it have been only infrequently published. This book collects translations made over many years by Michael Hamburger. His selection and his critical introduction provide a valuable account of `a writer so many-sided as to constitute a whole literature'. Here are poems from all periods of Goethe's creative life, including a complete version of the erotic `Roman Elegies' and poems and epigrams from `West-Eastern Divan'.
