Werther<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> made an epoch because it appeared\u2014not because it appeared at a certain time. There is in every period so much unexpressed sorrow\u2014so much secret discontent and disgust for life, and, in single individuals, there are so many disagreements with the world\u2014so many conflicts between their natures and civil regulations, that <\/span><\/span><\/span>Werther<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> would make an epoch even if it appeared to-day for the first time […] It is on that account that the book to this day influences youth of a certain age, as it did formerly. It was scarcely necessary for me to deduce my own youthful dejection from the general influence of my time, and from the reading of a few English authors. Rather was it owing to individual and immediate circumstances which touched me to the quick, and gave me a great deal of trouble, and indeed brought me into that frame of mind which produced \u2018<\/span><\/span><\/span>Werther<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u2019 I had lived, loved, and suffered much\u2014that was it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn considering more closely the much-talked-of \u2018<\/span><\/span><\/span>Werther<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2019 period, we discover that it does not belong to the course of universal culture, but to the career of life in every individual, who, with an innate free natural instinct, must accommodate himself to the narrow limits of an antiquated world. Obstructed fortune, restrained activity, unfulfilled wishes,\u00a0are not the calamities of any particular time, but those of every individual man; and it would be bad, indeed, if every one had not, once in his life, known a time when \u2018<\/span><\/span><\/span>Werther<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2019 seemed as if it had been written for him alone.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
