ABSTRACT

This article examines the influence of Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock on the poetry of the young Johann Wolfgang Goethe, tracing Goethe’s brief but intense relationship with the older poet by looking at well-known examples such as ‘Auf dem See’ and noting correspondences and above all differences. A further example of Klopstock’s influence is the early dramatic fragment Mahomet. There, the themes both of Klopstock’s poetry, but also of his epic Der Messias (1748–73), are discernible. A detailed examination and comparison of idyllic passages from Der Messias and Goethe’s early poem ‘Der Wandrer’ reveal this process of assimilation, but also Goethe’s growing independence.

摘要

本文考察了弗里德里希·戈特利布·克洛普斯托克 (Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock) 对年轻约翰·沃尔夫冈·歌德 (Johann Wolfgang Goethe) 诗歌的影响，通过查看诸如“Auf dem See”等著名例子并注意对应关系和最重要的差异来追溯歌德与这位年长诗人短暂而密切的关系. 克洛普斯托克影响的另一个例子是早期的戏剧片段穆罕默德。在那里，克洛普斯托克的诗歌以及他的史诗《弥赛亚》（1748-73）的主题都清晰可辨。对《弥赛亚》和歌德早期诗歌《流浪者》中田园诗篇的详细检查和比较揭示了这一同化过程，也揭示了歌德日益独立的过程。
