Goethe was a master of the short prose form. His two narrative cycles, and both written during a high point of his career, address various social issues and reveal his experimentation with narrative and perspective. A traditional cycle of novellas, deals with the impact and significance of the French Revolution and suggests Goethe's ideas on the social function of his art. Goethe's last novel, is a sequel to and to and is considered to be his most remarkable novel in form.
