The Truth and Poetry: From My Own Life Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von 1749-1832 creator Morrison, A. J. W. (Alexander James William) 1806-1865 Oxenford, John 1812-1877 text utu 2016 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Autobiography of Goethe" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is an autobiography written between 1811-1833. The work chronicles Goethe's life from childhood through age 26, ending as he prepares to leave for Weimar in 1775. Goethe approaches his life story as scientist, historian, and artist—deliberately blending poetry and fiction with truth. He depicts his Frankfurt childhood, university years, and early literary success, while chronicling love affairs and intellectual development. The title's word "Dichtung" signals Goethe's artistic license in selecting and shaping events into compelling narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
