Hermann and Dorothea
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Goethe’s "novelette in verse" tells the story of a young girl who finds love after fleeing the chaos of the French Revolution. This work influenced many artists of the day, including Arthur Hugh Clough, whose The Bothie borrows heavily from this work. See Cambridge History of English and American Literature.
