Aims and scope
Founded in 1886, the English Goethe Society aims to promote knowledge and understanding of Goethe’s life and writings and their wider context, as well as their legacy in 18th- to 21st-century German literature and culture. It pursues these goals through talks, discussion, conferences, and publications.
The Society’s journal, Publications of the English Goethe Society (PEGS), publishes unsolicited papers, guest-edited volumes, and proceedings of meetings and conferences whose content falls within the following areas:
• Goethe’s life and works and their immediate context
• the literature and culture of 18th- and early 19th-century German-speaking lands
• responses to or reception of that literature and culture both outside and within Germany up to the present day.
