| Summary | "Ueber Goethes Hermann und Dorothea" by Viktor Hehn is a critical literary analysis written in the late 19th century. The work delves into Goethe's epic poem "Hermann and Dorothea," examining its characters, themes, and structure while placing it within the broader context of German literature. Through this examination, Hehn aims to elucidate Goethe's artistry and the significance of the work in relation to the epics of the past and contemporary movements. The opening of the text presents Viktor Hehn's preface, which reflects on Goethe's influence on German literature and the importance of appreciating Goethe's work beyond surface-level interpretations. Hehn argues that while many readers are familiar with the poem's themes and characters, a more profound understanding is needed to grasp its artistic brilliance fully. The introduction emphasizes the historical and aesthetic context in which Goethe wrote, suggesting that the depth of Goethe’s art has often been overlooked by casual readers and critics alike. Hehn's remarks set the stage for a detailed analysis of "Hermann and Dorothea," highlighting the need to revisit and appreciate Goethe's contributions to literature as a reflection of the human experience.
