“If you have translated more from Hermann and Dorothea, will you send it me?”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.
Inferred Fuller names Goethe's Hermann und Dorothea directly and asks Clarke for more of his translation of this epic poem about a bourgeois German family during the French Revolutionary Wars.
“Goethe's Hermann and Dorothea, Goetz von Berlichingen, Iphigenia, first part of Faust,—three weeks of thorough study this, as valuable to me as to them,—and Clavigo”
The same sentence also names Götz von Berlichingen; Iphigenie auf Tauris [Iphigenia in Tauris]. Counted as one engagement.
