add to cart   close window

The article reports that an article published in February 18763 issue of the journal Atlantic is a American translation of writer Bettina Brentano's famous letters to poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe. The article tells how Bettina earned seven thousand dollars by the publication of the letters in German, how this sum seemed to her insufficient for her purpose, which was to erect a colossal monument to her idol, and how she determined upon putting forth an English edition, being moved to do so by a mistaken opinion as to Goethe's fame in England.
