Examines the iconic German writer’s engagement with, and portrayal of, Judaism. Karin Schutjer’s premise is that Goethe’s conception of modernity is deeply entwined with his conception of Judaism. She argues that behind his very mixed representations of Jews and Judaism stand crucial tensions within his own thinking and a distinct anxiety of influence.
