Excerpt from Goethe's Mother: Correspondence of Catharine Elizabeth Goethe With Goethe, Lavater, Wieland, Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxe-Weimar, Friedrich Von Stein, and Others
There are a few letters attributed to Goethe'sl mother in Bettina von Arnim's Goethe's Correspond ence with a Child, Of which there is an English trans lation. These I have not included in my selection, for Bettina's clever and amusing work has fallen, as regards reliability, into general discredit.
