West-East Divan
The Poems, with "Notes and Essays":
Goethe's Intercultural Dialogues

Global Academic Publishing is proud to announce the publication of a new title by Martin Bidney. In West-East Divan (1819), Germany’s greatest poet J. W. von Goethe offered a work of lasting appeal. Stimulated by the Divan ( “Collection” ) by medieval pub poet Hafiz, Goethe blends his own identity with that of the Persian Sufi master who sang the delights of wine and tavern romance in a context of Qur’anic allusion. Martin Bidney accompanies his rendering with commentary poems; and Peter Anton von Arnim joins him to offer, as well, the first translation into English of Goethe’s “Notes and Essays,” a pioneering guide to the cultural history of the Middle East. Bidney’s “Introduction” clarifies the transformation brought about in Goethe’s thought by his Muslim mentor. | Read more about this title
