Further Reading
It would be better to see some commentaries that date from later then 1920. Idolatry of everything Goethe wrote might be rather more profitably modified.
- W. von Humboldt, Æsthetische Versuche: Hermann und Dorothea (1799)
- V. Hehn, Ueber Goethes Hermann und Dorothea (1893)

Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“You in the West have a problem. You are unsure when you are being lied to, when you are being tricked. We do not suffer from this; and unlike you, we have acquired the skill of reading between the lines.”
—Zdenek Urbának (b. 1917)
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
