<br/><br/> "Hermann and Dorothea" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is an epic poem written between 1796 and 1797. Set during the French Revolutionary Wars, it tells the story of Hermann, a wealthy innkeeper's son, who falls in love with Dorothea, a refugee fleeing French occupation. Against his father's wishes for a prosperous match, Hermann pursues the compassionate young woman he met while delivering aid to displaced villagers. This idyll in hexameters contrasts the settled life of a small German town with revolutionary turmoil, exploring themes of love, duty, and civilization's foundations.
