Description

Explore Johann Wolfgang Goethe's profound and lifelong engagement with Arabian culture, literature, and Islamic thought through this comprehensive scholarly analysis. This study reveals how Goethe's fascination with ancient Arabian poets and texts shaped his worldview, challenging the common assumption that his interest in the Orient was limited to Persian culture and the poet Hafez. Drawing on abundant historical evidence, the book examines Goethe's nuanced attitudes toward Islam and demonstrates the significant yet overlooked influence of Arabic literature on his literary works, particularly the West-ostlicher Divan. Part of the Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture series from Camden House, this work fills a critical gap in Goethe scholarship by documenting connections between the German master and Arabian literary traditions that scholars have largely neglected.
