Tijdens de jaren ´30 moet Thomas Mann met lede ogen aanzien hoe in zijn land het beeld van Goethe, Duitslands nationale trots, steeds meer wordt vervalst tot “grote man” op wie kritiek onmogelijk is. Uitgangspunt voor dit boek is het historische gegeven dat Goethe op middelbare leeftijd werd opgezocht door zijn jeugdliefde Charlotte, de “onsterfelijke Lotte” uit Die Leiden des jungen Werther. Charlotte reist naar Weimar, en ontmoet daar Goethes zoon en diens privéleraar, en uiteindelijk ook Goethe zelf.

Work Description

Mann's novelistic biography of Goethe was first published in English in 1940. Lotte in Weimar is a vivid dual portrait, a complex study of Goethe and of Lotte, the still-vivacious woman who in her youth was the model for Charlotte in Goethe's widely-read The Sorrows of Young Werther. Lotte's thoughts, as she anticipates meeting Goethe again after forty years, and her conversations with those in Weimar who knew the great man, allow Mann to assess Goethe's genius from many points of view. Hayden White's fresh appraisal of the novel reveals its consonances with our own concerns.
