• W4379623029 abstract "MLR, 97.4, 2002 1019 Requadt, many references are from way back: Georg Witkowski, Joachim Miiller, Oskar Seidlin, Otto Pniower, Julius Petersen, Erich Schmidt, Jacob Minor, Heinrich Diintzer. This is in itself no fault; but it does mean the volume lacks the freshness and actuality of, say, Jochen Schmidt's study Goethes Faust: Grundlagen? Werk? Wirkung (Munich: Beck, 1999). The strength of Michelsen's work is its formidable combination of meticulous documentation, comprehensive knowledge, sound ana? lysis, and lucid argument: German literary scholarship at its best. University of St Andrews John R. Williams Enlightenment Thought in the Writings of Goethe: A Contribution to the History of Ideas. By Paul E. Kerry. Rochester, NY: Camden House. 2001. x + 256 pp. $65; ?40. 'Kann uns zum Vaterland die Fremde werden?' asks Iphigenie in the 1787 version of Goethe's play. Although Paul E. Kerry's book is entitled Enlightenment Thought in the Writings of Goethe, his 'contribution to the history of ideas' concentrates largely on the question of toleration (Toleranz), an Enlightenment idea that Goethe 'expanded, transformed, and transmitted [. . .] into the nineteenth century' (p. 2). Basing himself on the work of the Bayreuth Toleranzforscher and founder of intercultural Germanistics ,Alois Wierlacher, Kerry examines how Goethe analyses 'the limits ofintercultural understanding' in Iphigenie auf Tauris, and combines 'elements of history,literature, and questions about belief in Egmont (pp. 45, 53). Turning from drama to prose, Kerry investigates how the essay 'Sankt-Rochus-Fest zu Bingen' offersus 'the experiential hermeneutics of Dilthey with a twist', suggesting that 'the shape of Goethe's hermeneutics may be the spiral', since the spiral, looping back to 'a recognizable yet differentposition', allows us to interpret our experience 'from a different,yet recog? nizable perspective' (pp. 79-80). If Goethe was impressed with reports that up to ninety differentChristian denominations could be found in New York, his 1816 essay on his uncompleted epic 'Die Geheimnisse' for the Morgenblatt ftirgebildete Stande and, even more clearly, the posthumously published essay 'Zum Reformationsfest' raise the possibility of a Weltfest,'a neologism that contains the seeds that could outgrow traditional, religious festivals, by reaching out to and embracing all of humanity in a universal celebration' (p. 105). Rightly appreciating that Goethe's West-ostlicher Divan 'suggests', but cannot be reduced to, 'a set of intellectual positions', Kerry shows how both the collection as a whole and the appendix 'Noten und Abhandlungen zu besserem Verstandnis' throw light on two central ideas in Goethe's writings, Geltenlassen and Anerkennung(pp. 109-10). 'Goethe makes a telling point', Kerry ar? gues, 'about the limits of intercultural understanding' when he writes that 'das Eigene and das Fremde can learn from and approach each other and operate through the process of Aneignen, but [. . .] they cannot become each other' (p. 135). Justone such limitation emerges in Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre, a text full of institutions and organizations, such as the 'PadagogischeProvinz', 'die Verbiindeten', and the 'Weltbund ', dedicated to intercultural understanding, in all respects except one: in the reported conversation on the new community of immigrants to America, Friedrich says: 'in diesem Sinne [...] dulden wir keinen Juden unter uns'. Kerry's struggle with 'the larger and more elusive subject of Goethe and Jews' comes to the conclusion that 'despite the emphasis on religious exclusivity in this episode of the Wanderjahre, reli? gious coexistence is the Goethean ideal' (pp. 178, 184), thus missing the opportunity to examine another kind of exclusiveness necessarily inherent even in the fraternal aspirations of the Enlightenment. (Even the quintessential hymn to the ideals of the Aufkldrung, Schiller's 'An die Freude' as set by Beethoven, warns: 'Und wer's nicht 1020 Reviews gekonnt, der stehle | Weinend sich aus diesem Bund'!) Yet in creating 'two poles for examining the interaction of ideas', das Eigene and das Fremde, Goethe ultimately provides, as Kerry argues, a positive answer to Iphigenie's question: 'Die weite Welt, so ausgedehnt sie auch sei, ist immer nur ein erweitertes Vaterland' (pp. 195, 205).
