"Goethe’s relationship with his publishers, viewed through the eyes of a contemporary publisher: this narrative arc characterizes Siegfried Unseld’s study. In vivid detail, he describes the checkered history of Goethe’s dealings with publishers—from his initial anonymous, self-published works to the monumental editions produced by the most prominent publisher of the era."
