Robertsone points the reader interested in rediscovery to the best starting points. Catholic Herald

This Very Short Introduction does exactly what a VSI should do. It introduces the reader to its subject and explains why it is significant, and it's pitched at a non-academic audience in accessible language and with a coherent organisation of the content. Ritchie Robertson's Goethe, A Very Short Introduction made me want to drop what I'm currently reading and find out more about this great German writer ... I can't this VSI highly enough. * ANZ LitLovers * Robertsone points the reader interested in rediscovery to the best starting points. * Catholic Herald *
