Faust by Johann Wolfang von Goethe

Johhan Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust, written between 1806 and 1831, was translated by Bayard Taylor in 1870 and published In 1871. It was illustrated by Harry Clarke in a 1925 edition published by Hartsdale House that was limited to 2,000 copies. Bayard Taylor’s translation preserves the beautiful, metered verse and rhyme of von Goethe’s adaptation of the legend of Dr. Faust. That translation is faithfully reproduced in this edition.
