Abstract

This article examines the widespread assumption that the protagonist of Goethe's Die Leiden des jungen Werthers chooses to live in ‘Wahlheim’. It is argued that this assumption cannot be reconciled with a close reading of the textual evidence. At no stage can Wahlheim be shown to be Werther's sole or main residence. Indeed, it is doubtful whether he ever resides there at all.

旅馆的房间?无论在瓦尔海姆

这篇文章探讨了一个普遍的假设，即歌德的少年维特瑟斯的主人公选择住在“瓦尔海姆”。有人认为，这种假设与仔细阅读文本证据是不相符的。在任何阶段都不能证明瓦尔海姆是维特的唯一或主要住所。事实上，他是否曾经住在那里是值得怀疑的。

期刊介绍： - German Life and Letters was founded in 1936 by the distinguished British Germanist L.A. Willoughby and the publisher Basil Blackwell. In its first number the journal described its aim as "engagement with German culture in its widest aspects: its history, literature, religion, music, art; with German life in general". German LIfe and Letters has continued over the decades to observe its founding principles of providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly analysis of German culture past and present. The journal appears four times a year, and a typical number contains around eight articles of between six and eight thousand words each.
