Excerpt from Goethes Faust, Vol. 1: Edited With Introduction and Commentary

The present edition of the First Part of Goethe's Faust aims to be a modest contribution on the part of American scholarship to the commemoration of the approaching centenary of the first publication of the drama, one of'the most important events in the history of human civilization. Even before the ap pearence of the completed poem, Schelling, one of the foremost thinkers of the time, had with prophetic vision called it a fountain of youth from which the rejuvenation of life and science was destined to flow. Recognizing the deep philosophical meaning of this characteristic German production, Schelling's re marks ushered in at the same time the so-called phil osophical interpretation of the drama which pre vailed during the subsequent long period of the domination of Hegel's Aest/zetz'cs.
