- English abstract
- This volume reconstructs and reassesses the complex production, censorship, and publication history of the 'erotic' poems written by Goethe following his travels in Italy, 1786-88. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the author presents the first full account of how the texts, which were considered by Goethe's friends and associates to be scandalous and potentially damaging to his reputation, were hidden and suppressed, remaining unpublished for a century after Goethe's death, and offers new insights into these major works.
