 | | Although Professor Shelley concentrated chiefly on translations from German into English, this did not prevent him from collecting a modest amount of Goetheiana, including nineteen letters, a drawing, and most significantly a page of Faust in Goethe's own hand. |
 | | Special strengths of the Collection lie in a long series of early and important English translations of works by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Gottfried Burger, and Heinrich Heine, as well as translations of the Brothers Grimm, Johanna Spyri, Heinrich Hoffmann, Wilhelm Busch, and other writers of children's literature. |
 | | The modern movements are well represented by extensive publications and first editions by Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, B. Traven, Gunter Grass, Peter Handke, Heinrich Boll, and many others. |
