Publisher's Synopsis
Goethe: A New Pantomime is a book written by Edward Vaughan H. Kenealy in 1850. The book is a retelling of the life and works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German writer, poet, and philosopher. Kenealy uses the format of a pantomime, a theatrical performance that uses music, dance, and mime to tell a story, to present Goethe's life and ideas to the reader. The book is divided into six parts, each of which represents a different stage in Goethe's life. Kenealy uses a combination of narrative and dialogue to portray Goethe's relationships with his family, friends, and lovers, as well as his intellectual and artistic pursuits. The book also includes illustrations and musical scores to enhance the pantomime experience. Overall, Goethe: A New Pantomime is a unique and creative interpretation of one of the most influential figures in German literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
