I conclude therefore that Goethe was the first to formulate the equation making the Wanderer a Synonym for the Poet and this equation, along with its basic implication, was recognised and adopted by the Romantic poets in the German-speaking world and, in less obvious ways, in England.
To evaluate such a possibility it is necessary to recognise the cross-cultural influences that pertained during a period stretching from about 1760 to the early 19th century.
From 1760 until about 1780 the flow of influence ran from Britain to the German area.

 From the Temple to the Castle An Architectural History of British Literature, 1660-1760 by Lee Morrissey
By examining the connections between literature and architecture in the work of these writers and by viewing architecture in literary terms, Lee Morrissey traces a narrative of cultural change in the Augustan Age and beyond.
While some twentieth-century architectural theorists have worried that treating architecture in literary terms robs it of its social function, Morrissey argues that architecture can be a language and still participate in political and social contexts, because language itself is political and social.
The fruit of his argument is a unique intellectual history of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain that will engage scholars of architectural history and landscape architecture as well as of literature.

 Versions of Romanticism: An Introduction to Romanticism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Associated with medieval tales of chivalry written in the Romance languages, French in particular, by the seventeenth century the term "romantic" signified a tendency toward the imaginary or the fabulous, and suggested a rejection of the merely factual.
