'The influence of Goethe is not calculable. The effect of
his Faust begins most clearly in Byron's "Manfred"'. He has
influenced English ballad and lyrical poetry, as is seen in
Scott and Coleridge.
'The influence of such a man must be vast. Byron and Shelley
owned it and showed it. Carlyle, as stern a critic as ever
played the pedagogue, is unmixed in his admiration for the man
Goethe, who is to him divine. In his own country his "Werther",
despite its frequent morbidness and its longueurs, determined
the feeling of every sentimentalist. Outside that country his
"Wilhelm Meister" has become almost a textbook in æsthetic
philosophy'.
