Features: The Sorrows of Young Werther was published in 1774 and is one of Goethe's most important works from his early period. Its publication was also a landmark event in the history of German literature. Before the publication of the second part of Faust, Goethe's name was associated with The Sorrows of Young Werther for fifty years. The Sorrows of Young Werther is not long, and its plot is neither complex nor convoluted. The main characters are only Werther and Lotte. The entire novel is woven together through the storyline of the protagonist Werther's unfortunate love affair and his constant setbacks in society.
