Abstract

The years 1814-19 are often known as Goethe's `Divan years', because the West-ostlicher Divan is the main product of these five years. The article follows, step by step, its genesis after a decade that was probably the most difficult of his life. But what an array of diverse projects were completed or continued: the production of a new edition of his Werke (twenty volumes, 1815-19), the first volumes of his Italienische Reise, the beginning of the `Hefte' über Kunst und Alterthum in den Rhein und Mayn Gegenden and Zur Naturwissenschaft überhaupt, besonders zur Morphologie, as well as a manifold poetic production the fruits of an unbelievable surge of activity.
