[GOETHE, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832)]. Die Leiden des jungen Werthers. Erster [-Zweyter] Teil. Leipzig: Weygand, 1774.
First edition of a milestone in world literature, the rare second printing, with the few errors corrected and errata list at the end replaced by a woodcut vignette. The Sorrows of Young Werther, published when Goethe was 25 years old, immediately projected itself on the European literary stage as a Romantic classic. Werther stands next to Hamlet, Don Quixote, Don Juan and Faust as an exceptionally forceful creation of archetypal strength. Hagen 80.
2 parts in one volume (with continuous collation), octavo (155 x 103mm). With engraved vignette by Oeser to title, woodcut vignette on second title, engraved head-pieces and initials, and woodcut vignette at end (first title repaired at gutter, occasional light spotting). Contemporary calf, spine decorated in gilt (hinges repaired, endpaper renewed, extremities rubbed). Provenance: J.E.D Wildt (contemporary inscription to recto and verso of title).
