Half titles discarded by the binder. Those preceding books I through to VIII complete and present, as issued.

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship [Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre], the second novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was originally published in German in 179596 by Johann Friedrich Unger, Berlin. The novel is commonly acknowledged to have played a pivotal role in founding the genre known as the Bildungsroman. Schopenhauer ranked it as one of the four greatest novels ever written; Schlegel compared it in importance to the French Revolution and Fichte's philosophy. Notably, the first English translation, complete with the 14 page 'translator's preface' is the first major literary work of Thomas Carlyle. This was the text that Ralph Waldo Emerson, T. S. Eliot and Henry James debated, praised and criticised. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans.
