To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And why should this ideal of a universal republic of letters be called a dream ? Anyhow, it is a dream that has lieen dreamt long before Goethe. It is we in the last four centuries of the world who have grown so very narrow-minded, so intensely national. Till about four hundred years ago all really great writers wrote for the world, and not for their own small country only. Nay, I make bold to say that some of the ideas to which Goethe gave such powerful expression, and which have often been ca...lled Utopian, stirred more or less consciously in the minds of the earliest writers when they, for the fii'st time, took their chisel to engrave on the walls of temples and pyramids what they had thought and what they had done during their short sojourn hero on earth. With us writing has become a habit. But why did people first begin to write and erect monuments which they hoped would last for ever ?
I believe it was the same awakening spirit of human sympathy which Goethe preached, the same reverence for a past that was no more, the same faith in a future that was not yet, which led the great historical nations of the world to lay the first foundations of what we now call literature, and what GOKTIIE AND CARLYLE.
