The Sorrows of Young Werther (Annotated)

Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther is one of the most influential novels of the eighteenth century - a work that shaped Romanticism, scandalised Europe, and changed how emotion was written on the page. Told through letters, the novel traces Werther’s inner life as it slowly collapses under love, idealism, and isolation.

This TritonLit edition focuses on clarity and flow. Each section is supported with concise summaries and contextual notes that explain what’s happening, why it matters, and how the novel fits into its historical moment. The aim is to help readers stay oriented without interrupting the intensity of the writing.
