But until now it has never been thoroughly explored or evaluated. Deidre Vincent examines the two versions of Werther in the context of Geothe's personal life in the intervening years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoethe wrote and published the original version of this novel to great acclaim throughout Europe in 1774, drawing on the experience of a traumatic love affair he had had in Wetzlar in 1772. When the revised work was published some thirteen years later, the public saw the second version as little more than a reissuing of the original, and scholars over the past two centuries have persisted in this view. Vincent analyses Goethe's mode of writing and the role that literary creativity played for him during the first ten years or so in Weimar. She reveals how greatly the second version differs from the first, and challenges conventional explanations for the changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincent sheds new light on Werther and on some of Goether's other important works written between 1776 and 1789. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDEIRDRE VINCENT\u003c\/b\u003e is a member of the Department of German, University of Toronto.
