Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre the second novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was originally published in German in 179596 by Johann Friedrich Unger Berlin. The novel is commonly acknowledged to have played a pivotal role in founding the genre known as the Bildungsroman. Schopenhauer ranked it as one of the four greatest novels ever written; Schlegel compared it in importance to the French Revolution and Fichte's philosophy. Notably the first English translation complete with the 14 page 'translator's preface' is the first major literary work of Thomas Carlyle. This was the text that Ralph Waldo Emerson T. S. Eliot and Henry James debated praised and criticised. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Wilhelm Meister's - ' Apprenticeship and Travels' Translated from the German of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe By Thomas Carlyle Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship German: Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre is the second novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published in 1795–96. Goethe's work on the novel began in the 1770s. An early version of the work unpublished during Goethe's lifetime was discovered in the early twentieth century and published under the title Wilhelm Meister's Theatrical Calling Wilhelm Meisters theatralische Sendung. When the Apprenticeship was completed in the mid-1790s it was to a great extent through the encouragement and criticism of Goethe's close friend and collaborator Friedrich Schiller that it took its final shape. Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre "Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years" the sequel to the Apprenticeship was already planned in the 1790s but did not appear in its first edition until 1821 and in its final form until 1829. The novel has had a significant impact on European literature. Romantic critic and theorist Friedrich Schlegel judged it to be of comparable importance for its age as the French Revolution and the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship as one of the four greatest novels ever written. Schopenhauer also mentions the book in his Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit. Arguing against chasing transient pleasures Schopenhauer says "Where we were looking for pleasure happiness and joy we often find instruction insight and knowledge a lasting and real benefit in place of a fleeting one. This idea runs like a bass-note through Goethe's Wilhelm Meister; for this is an intellectual novel and is of a higher order than the rest." Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship provided the text for many lieder among others by Beethoven for example Sehnsucht: Gedicht von Goethe viermal in Musik gesetzt von L. van Beethoven four settings of "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" WoO. 134 1808 and by Schubert for example D 877 Gesange aus Wilhelm Meister Op. 62 1826. The 1866 opera Mignon by Ambroise Thomas is based on Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. Thomas Carlyle 4 December 1795 – 5 February 1881 was a Scottish essayist historian and philosopher. Known as the "sage of Chelsea" his writings strongly influenced the intellectual and artistic culture of the Victorian era. Carlyle was born in Ecclefechan a village in Dumfriesshire Scotland. He attended the University of Edinburgh where he excelled in mathematics and invented the Carlyle circle. After finishing the arts course he prepared to become a minister in the Burgher Church while working as a schoolmaster. He quit these and several other endeavours before settling on literature writing for the Edinburgh Encyclopædia and working as a translator. He initially gained prominence in English-language literary circles for his extensive writing on German Romantic literature and philosophy. These themes were explored in his first major work a semi-autobiographical philosophical novel entitled Sartor Resartus 1833–34. Carlyle eventually relocated to London where he published The French Revolution: A History 1837. Its popular success made him a celebrity prompting the collection and reissue of his earlier essays under the title of Miscellanies . His subsequent works were highly regarded throughout Europe and North America including On Heroes 1841 Past and Present 1843 Cromwell's Letters 1845 Latter-Day Pamphlets 1850 and Frederick the Great 1858–65. He founded the London Library helped to establish the National Portrait Galleries in London and in Edinburgh became Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh in 1865 and received the Pour le Mérite in 1874 amongst other honours. Carlyle occupied a central position in Victorian culture being considered the "undoubted head of English letters" and a "secular prophet". Posthumously a series of publications by his friend James Anthony Froude damaged Carlyle's reputation provoking controversy about his personal life and his marriage to Jane Welsh Carlyle in particular. His reputation further declined in the aftermaths of the First World War and the Second World War when his philosophy was seen as a precursor of both Prussianism and fascism. Growing scholarship in the field of Carlyle studies since the 1950s has improved his standing and although little-read today he is yet recognised as "one of the enduring monuments of English literature". </p> Chapman & Hall.
