Features: The Sorrows of Young Werther was published in 1774 and is one of the most important works of Goethe's 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 in Europe. The Sorrows of Young Werther is not long in length, and its plot is neither complex nor winding. The main characters are only Werther and Lotte. The entire novel is woven together through the storyline of Werther's unfortunate love experience and his constant setbacks in society, forming a complete work.
