Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Johns Hopkins University Circulars, Vol. 10: June, 1891
The object of this paper is to identify the conception and chief features of the Erdgeist' in Goethe's Faust with Shakespeare. The evidence is based upon Goethe's attitude towards Shakespeare, as attested by his works, letters, etc., both in general, and especially during the period 1770 - 75. It is expected that the paper will be published in a separate and augmented form early in the autumn.
