Collection of Letters (Dramatic Reading)-Jane Austen

from Essays on Art · host Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Essays on art, letters, thoughts, aphorisms - Goethe's thoughts were dealing with artworks of every branch of arts. He addressed many aspects of the artistic process and described his impressions of works of arts - and even dilettantism - in his essays. Being one of the great masters of german written arts, Goethe used his own skills to express his thoughts: while Section 25 is more of a commented list of pictures in a gallery, two other sections are dramatic readings. Furthermore there are letters, talks and thoughts to entertain - I hope, these essays may function as a worthy treasure-chest for the interested. S.G. Ward translated this fine selection of Goethe's publications around these topics. - Summary by schrm Characters section 16: The Collector and his Friends - Letter 6 Guest: Stacy Dugan-Wilcox I: ToddHW Narrator, Julia, editing: Rapunzelina Uncle: Alan Mapstone Characters section 21: On Truth and Probability in Works of Art Spectator: ToddHW Intro, friend of the artist, editing: schrm
