| First published in 1774, The Passion of Young Werther was a phenomenon, and had a profound influence on literature and culture on both sides of the Atlanticâ and eventually around the globe. Werther himself became synonymous with sensibility and sensitivity, and the novelâ s depiction of youthful passion generated heated debates about its effects in the context of 18th-century â Werthermania.â C.C. Wharramâ s new translation provides modern readers with a faithful but contemporary version of the text that emphasizes the originalâ s musicality and intensity. Because Werther resonated so strongly in both the British and American publishing worlds, this Broadview edition appends many late-eighteenth-century primary sources taken from books, journals, and newspapers in order to demonstrate the generative effects of Goetheâ s novel. The introduction and historical appendices also address the debates around Werther, especially in relation to the depiction of suicide. |
