This paper examines how Goethe appropriates, revises, and ultimately rewrites the Faust stories of the sixteenth century. Having emerged at the intersection of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Goethe’s Faust is a cultural text which illustrates the dynamic history of European culture from the breakdown of the Roman Catholic orthodoxy, the Protestant Reformation, Renaissance, through the Enlightenment and French Revolution. In the process of rewriting the preceding versions of Faust, Goethe uses a number of different sources that include the Bible, Greek myths, and science, presenting his work as the dialogue between past and present, between classical and modern, and between Christianity and the Enlightenment. Focusing on his emphasis upon human striving in light of the epic tradition, this paper will present Goethe’s Faust as a modern epic that portrays the adventure of the individual human being who strives to seek a meaning of the universe in the age of modernity.
Abstract
This paper examines how Goethe appropriates, revises, and ultimately rewrites the Faust stories of the sixteenth century. Having emerged at the intersection of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Goethe’s Faust is a cultural text which illustrates the dynamic history of European culture from the breakdown of the Roman Catholic orthodoxy, the Protestant Reformation, Renaissance, through the Enlightenment and French Revolution. In the process of rewriting the preceding versions of Faust, Goethe uses a number of different sources that include the Bible, Greek myths, and science, presenting his work as the dialogue between past and present, between classical and modern, and between Christianity and the Enlightenment. Focusing on his emphasis upon human striving in light of the epic tradition, this paper will present Goethe’s Faust as a modern epic that portrays the adventure of the individual human being who strives to seek a meaning of the universe in the age of modernity.
