Faustus

An edition of an 1821 translation of Goethe's Faust, which the editors, both eminent scholars of Romantic literature, conclude to have been written by the great English poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Supported by stylometric analysis and other strong literary evidence, and enhanced by full editorial notes, the edition contributes significantly to our understanding of Coleridge's entire oeuvre.

Frederick Burwick is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Los Angeles and James C. McKusick is Professor of English at the University of Montana.

...anyone interested in Anglo-German relations in the Romantic age will have to read this book and the critical heritage it is rapidly generating. s a work of great scholarship which promises to reconfigure our understanding not only of the life and works of a major English writer, but of that writer's complex role in European cultural commerce... the recovery of Coleridge's time-concealed masterpiece promises to trigger a ripple of realignments right across both English and European Romanticism.
