Friends of Goethe;
I'm entering into an extensive research project dealing with J. Goethe's theories on world literature and translation.

Do any of you know of reliable texts relating to Goethe's theory of world literature and to language? Also, are there any translations of "Werther" that have struck any of you as being particularly notable for some reason?

I studied translation theory at an institute for German philology, but Goethe never came up as having a theory of translation or even some noteworthy remark. So I'm a bit skeptical. If Hans Vermeer does not cite Goethe you better turn straight to an expert on J.W. von Goethe at some university.
