Goetz von Berlichingen

With the Iron Hand

A Drama

Translated by Sir Walter Scott


This drama was written in 1771; but it was not published until 1773, during which interval it underwent considerable alterations. It was the first work which Goethe submitted to the public; and it at once excited great attention, both on account of the originality of the subject, and of the vigorous and unconventional manner in which it was worked out.
