The Goethe Yearbook is a publication of the Goethe Society of North America, which was founded in 1980 to promote the study of Goethe and his contemporaries. Originally conceived as a vehicle for Goethe criticism in English during the Cold War political tensions, when the most prestigious Goethe publication, the Goethe Jahrbuch, was not available to most Western scholars, the Yearbook subsequently gained the respect of the international community, and has published articles, in both English and German, by scholars from around the world; it is unique among other periodicals devoted to the 'Goethezeit' for its extensive book review section.

This collection of essays on Goethe's "Faust", explores its significance in the context of recent historical, political and scholarly developments. Topics include the relationship to Mephistopheles, sexual imagery, gothic allusions, musical representations, and political and moral implications.

Latest volume in series devoted to Goethe criticism (and studies of his contemporaries), with an extensive book review section.
