Helena klassisch-romantische Phantasmagorie. Zwischenspiel zu Faust
In: Goethe’s Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Band 4. Stuttgart und Tübingen: Cotta 1827, S. 229‒307.
Goethe began “Helen” (the third act of Faust II) around 1800 and completed it in 1826. In it, he sought to resolve the “passionate dispute between the Classicists and Romanticists” and paid tribute to the English poet Lord Byron in the character of Euphorion.
