In the earlier part of his life Goethe (1749-1832) was particularly well known for the novel 'Die Leiden des jungen Werther' ('The Sorrows of Young Werther'). It was first published in 1774 and was an immediate success. It was translated into several languages, and is generally thought to have been the first work of German literature that appealed to a wide European public. Goethe is now best known for his two-part drama 'Faust'. In 1808 'Faust: eine Tragoedie' appeared. When Part II of 'Faust' appeared posthumously in 1833, the 1808 'Faust' was renamed Part I. He is also well known for his poetry. 'Der Erlkoenig', for example, was translated into English by Sir Walter Scott.
