Goethe and Love

Goethe’s creative spirit is examined in connection with his attitude to love.

The young Rudolf Steiner said of this book:

“The honor of showing that love was not merely one attribute of Goethe’s being among many others, but rather the very foundation of his entire poetry and thought, that it was his religion, and that all his creations can only be correctly understood when considered from this point of view. This honor belongs to this book of Schröer’s.”

About the Author

Karl Julius Schröer was born on 11 January 1825, the son of the writer Tobias Gottfried Schröer and the writer Therese Schröer, née Langwieser. Schröer conducted research on the German people in Hungary. In the course of this research he discovered the folk Christmas plays of Oberufer in the immediate vicinity of Bratislava. He collected manuscripts, made text-critical comparisons and published the book Deutsche Weihnachtsspiele aus Ungarn (German Christmas Plays from Hungary) in 1857/58. This work was the basis for many, but above all for Schröer’s later student in Vienna, Rudolf Steiner, who founded the Free Waldorf Schools after World War I, in which the Oberufer Christmas plays are still performed today.
