Hermann and Dorothea

pubOne.info present you this new edition. There are few modern poems of any country so perfect in their kind as the &quote;Hermann and Dorothea&quote; of Goethe. In clearness of characterization, in unity of tone, in the adjustment of background and foreground, in the conduct of the narrative, it conforms admirably to the strict canons of art; yet it preserves a freshness and spontaneity in its emotional appeal that are rare in works of so classical a perfection in form.
