Journal Article
Rahel Varnhagen and Goethe
2013
Overview
Arendt-Stern discusses the relations between Rahel Varnhagen and Goethe. For this first German-Jewish generation--as indeed for all the generations to follow--Goethe played a decisive role. Rahel is an excellent and unassailable example of real and authentic assimilation. The proof lies not only in what she herself said and wrote, but in Goethe's declarations: he called her in so many words one of the first people who had ever understood him. For Rahel, Goethe is the \"mediator\" between her and an alien world, an alien history, an alien society where she has no place that would be fixed in advance by birth and convention.
