In 1772, Johann Wolfgang Goethe began his opus magnum. The material, which would initially go down in literary history as the \u201cUrfaust\u201d, accompanied him until the end of his life. An equally opulent project, the \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d, compiled under the direction of Goethe expert Professor Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken, sheds light on the path to completion of \u201cFaust, Part Two\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When exactly Goethe began to occupy himself with the material for Faust has so far remained a mystery even to experts. \u201cGoethe probably first started thinking about Faust during his student days,\u201d says Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken, Professor of German Studies at Goethe University Frankfurt and director of the Freie Deutsche Hochstift about the state of research [editor\u2019s note: The Freie Deutsche Hochstift is a non-profit research institution and one of Germany\u2019s oldest cultural institutes]. What is certain, however, is that it was in 1772 in Frankfurt that he began putting down on paper what would later be known as the \u201cUrfaust\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johann Wolfgang Goethe worked on the Faust material for almost his entire adult life. He abridged, augmented, polished and rewrote his various texts. He remained in constant contact with his contemporaries throughout; their views and suggestions also fed into his work. The creative process was a virtually endless assemblage of texts and annotations by the poet\u2019s hand and that of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making this assemblage accessible is the \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d database, which first went online in 2018, and was compiled under the direction of Faust expert Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken, Professor Fotis Jannidis, computer philologist at Julius-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t of W\u00fcrzburg, and Dr. Silke Henke from the Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv in Weimar (the oldest literary archive in Germany and the central archive for German-language literature and culture of the 18th and 19th century). Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken\u2019s doctoral thesis had already dealt with what are known as the paralipomena to Goethe\u2019s \u201cFaust\u201d, that is, the texts and text fragments that Goethe wrote but did not publish. These include both scribbled notes on envelopes or receipts, as well as fair copies of entire scenes. However, Bohnenkamp-Renken was unable to take all the manuscripts that document Goethe\u2019s work on \u201cFaust\u201d into consideration in her thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Claim to completeness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d aspires to be complete. That is quite something given that hardly any other poet has left as much textual material behind as Goethe. This edition has documented and made available everything \u2013 from the smallest snippets of text to the whole tragedy \u2013 from the \u201cUrfaust\u201d to \u201cFaust, Part Two\u201d, only excerpts of which were published during Goethe\u2019s lifetime. The results are accessible online at www.faustedition.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further literary and bibliophilic gem from the Faust project: Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken, Professor of German Studies, with the large, previously unpublished, complete manuscript of \u201cFaust, Part Two\u201d as a high-quality and elaborate facsimile with a precise transcription, published by Wallstein Verlag. Photo: Sauter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, the legacies from the early years are modest. So much is known: Goethe took the first version, known as the \u201cUrfaust\u201d, with him to Weimar and presented it there. Important scenes were not yet rhymed; the text is attributed to the Sturm und Drang period. It has survived solely as a copy owned by Luise von G\u00f6chhausen and the manuscript only emerged in the 19th century, when Goethe was no longer alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, records from later versions speak volumes. In 1790, \u201cFaust. A Fragment\u201d was published, in 1808, \u201cFaust, Part One\u201d, and finally, in 1832 \u2013 after the poet\u2019s death \u2013 \u201cFaust, Part Two\u201d. Over the course of time, the poet himself collected more and more of his notes and correspondence. \u201cFrom 1814 onwards, Goethe saw himself as a historical figure, and began collecting everything to do with his work,\u201d says Bohnenkamp-Renken. \u201cHe was one of the inventors of the poet\u2019s archive.\u201d Looking at it this way, the \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d is in a way a continuation of the process Goethe himself begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online edition includes edits and contextualizations to the various printed versions as well as a transcription of the handwritten sheets into readable script. \u201cEven literary scholars cannot always read Goethe\u2019s handwriting,\u201d explains Bohnenkamp-Renken. Students, teachers, experts \u2013 anyone interested can examine the different versions of individual text passages and track the poet\u2019s work, which spanned over 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Goethe preferred not to see in print<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One important goal of the \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d is to give a glimpse into the way Goethe worked on his texts. Far more than merely an archive, the online edition also places the texts in a \u201cgenetic context\u201d from a philological perspective. Anyone interested in Goethe\u2019s work can easily lose themselves in its windings and weavings, laugh at many a witty aper\u00e7u and allow themselves to be transported back to the time when the famous lines were written. It is quite fascinating to trace how Goethe struggled to find the right words until he came up with the variant that has meanwhile often become a figure of speech. Did Faust study \u201cJuristerey und Medizin\u201d [jurisprudence and medicine] or \u201cMedizin und Juristerey\u201d [medicine and jurisprudence]? We know which variant Goethe ultimately chose. While the issue here was more one of poetic form, comparing the published and unpublished versions of Gretchen\u2019s song at the spinning wheel makes for deeper insights: whereas in the early Frankfurt version Goethe puts the words \u201cMein Schoos! Gott! dr\u00e4ngt \/ sich nach ihm hin\u201d [\u201cMy womb! God! It yearns towards him\u201d] into Margarete\u2019s mouth, he \u201cdefused\u201d this part in the printed edition. Gretchen now says: \u201cMein Busen \/ dr\u00e4ngt sich nach ihm hin\u201d [\u201cMy bosom presses towards him\u201d]. Of course, the digital edition also includes the infamous Satanic mass, which is missing from the published version. Goethe did not want to subject his audience to the drastically vulgar scene \u2013 saving it \u201cfor the future\u201d instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parallel to the digital edition going online, a facsimile of the last large fair copy of \u201cFaust, Part Two\u201d has also been published, as well as the text constituted from all the records (Wallstein Verlag 2018). So, the hybrid edition is also a \u201chistorical-critical edition\u201d in the strict sense of the term, that is, one which presents the most authentic version of a text. As of now, the \u201cDigital Edition of Faust\u201d is not yet completely finished and version 1.3 RC only recently released. It contains various additions, including detailed documentation of the types of paper Goethe used, with illustrations and the locations of all the watermarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still unrhymed, but with a lot of drama. In the \u201cUrfaust\u201d dungeon scene Goethe has Gretchen call out: \u201cK\u00fcsse mich! Kannst du nicht mehr k\u00fcssen? Wie! Was! Bist mein Heinrich und hasts K\u00fcssen verlernt! Wie sonst ein ganzer Himmel mit deiner Umarmung gewaltig \u00fcber mich eindrang! Wie du k\u00fcsstest, als wolltest du mich in woll\u00fcstigem Todt ersticken! Heinrich, k\u00fcsse mich, sonst k\u00fcss ich dich sie f\u00e4llt ihn an Weh! deine Lippen sind kalt! Todt! Antworten nicht!\u201d [\u201cKiss me! Canst no longer do it? How! What! Thou art my Heinrich and hast unlearned thy kissing! When else the might of a whole heaven invaded me with your embrace! And thou didst kiss, as thou wouldst suffocate me in wanton death! Heinrich, kiss me or I\u2019ll kiss thee! (She throws herself at him.) Ah, woe! Thy lips are chill! Dead! They respond not!\u201d]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Faust anticipated today\u2019s debates<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The question was recently raised whether \u201cFaust\u201d is a literary must-read for German high school students. Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken does not believe making the work compulsory is expedient. That being said, she has no doubt whatsoever that the text is as current today as it has always been: \u201c\u2018Faust, Part Two\u2019 especially addresses many issues and problems that are preying on our minds today. Whether inflation, the destruction of nature or the question of how we can use renewable energies \u2013 Goethe very closely observed the eve of industrialization, the age he was living in,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
