GOETHE, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832). [A group of 5 works]. Various places, publishers: 1774-1793.

First and early editions of 5 works, including the first edition of Goethe’s innovative second libretto, which ‘differs from his first in many ways: it is a full-length, technically unruly, dramaturgically demanding, and emotionally charged work – every inch a Storm and Stress libretto, the first in the history of German opera’ (Bauman, p.169). Der Gross-Cophta and Der Bürgergeneral are comedies which satirize events relating to the French Revolution. A full description and condition report is available upon request. Thomas Bauman. North German Opera in the Age of Goethe. Cambridge: CUP, 1985; Hagen 66, 122, 128, 216, and 217.

Together 5 volumes, octavo (various sizes). Comprising: – Clavigo. Ein Trauerspiel. Frankfurt and Leipzig: 1774. Modern vellum-backed boards; – Stella. Ein Schauspiel für Liebende in fünf Akten. Freistatt: 1776. Disbound; – Claudine von Villa Bella. Ein Schauspiel mit Gesang. Berlin: August Mylius, 1776. Contemporary half calf; – Der Gross-Cophta. Ein Lustspiel in funf Aufzugen. Berlin: J. F. Unger, 1792. 19th-century half cloth; – Der Bürgergeneral. Ein Lustspiel in einem Aufzuge. Zweyte Fortsetzung der beyden Billets. Berlin: Johann Friedrich Unger, 1793. Contemporary half calf.
