~ WING to the many Goethe
celebrations at our vari-
~ Gus universities, which
We'd with each other in
honoring the memory of Ger
many's foremost poet, who had
died March %, 1882, 100 years ago,
the name of Goethe, so difficult
to pronounce correctly by the ma
jority of US, has been given a we'll
deserved and far too long delayed
prominence.
We have to be reminded of the
fact that the principal characters
of that well known opera of
Faust" by the French composer
Gounod, viz, Marguerite, Faust
and Mephisto, are also the chief
characters Of one of the most i'm
portant dramas known in the lit
erature of the world-Goethe's
"FauSt"-that, in fact, the text or
libretto of the FTenchman'S tune
full opera is based on the great
philosophical play of the German
poet. Two other Frenchmen useu
texts adapted from the works of
Goethe-"Mignon," by Ambrose
Thomas, and "Werther," by Mas
Senet. Although, to use Goethe'S
own words, the iibrettiSt of Gou-
mods Faust made a perfect
ragout of his tragedy" (Which can
also be said of "Mignon" and
"Werther'D, the operas have lived
through the years and are as pop
ular today as ever before, while
the great works of Goethe are
little known to our average Amer
ican. To explain this we must re-
trace our steps to England's early
attitude toward German literature,
and in particular to that of
Goethe's masterpiece, Faust"
In the eighteenth century
French literature and French
style were dominant in England.
Unless a work came we'll recon-
mended by way of the French its
chances for a favorable reception
in England were small. The
French at that time were rather
unjust in their criticism of Ger
man literature.
Then, too, there is an essential
difference in the character of the
Germans and the English. The
EngliShman is characteriStically
a man of action, not of contem-
plation. His habit of mind is con-
Stitutional rather than philo-
sophical, his religion more eccle-
siaStical than spiritual, and his
craftsmanship guided more by
external expediency than by in
ternal principles He is a de-
nouncer of sentiment and en-
thusiasm, which Napoleon called
theology.
The German is the reverse of
all this. He is cosmopolitan in
his range, contemplative in his
habit and emotional in his tenn
per, and when such opposite types
come near enough to provoke a
mutual estimate they produce d
clash. A century or more ago,
when international communica-
ton was comparatively limited,
these characteristics stood out
more boldly than they do today
and exercised a strong. influence
on literary intercourse.
Before 1890 there were no COM
petent mediators who appreciated
the treasures of German litera-
ture and could introduce them ef-
fectively to their countrymen.
Later, however, there were such
men as Bayard Taylor, M Greg
ory Lewis, Henry Crabb Robinson
