Brief Summary:
Letter from Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written from Munich and dated 28 December 1812.
Detailed Summary:
Jacobi says that Goethe, like Voltaire and Sophocles, writes his best works between the seventieth and eightieth years. He adds that he borrowed Goethe’s biography from a passing traveler, as the Munich booksellers could not yet get it. He then provides a report on friends and family before going on to discuss Goethe’s writings.
