		The year 1794 is marked by the beginning of his friendship with Schiller, who had invited him to take part in a new periodical; and until the younger poet’s death in 1805, the two men exercised on each other a remarkable mutual influence, partly stimulating and partly corrective.
		Nevertheless, as the romantic novelists had taken “Wilhelm Meister” as a model for their fiction, so the poets regarded Goethe’s lyrics with the greatest enthusiasm and found, with good reason, romantic elements in “Faust.” Thus, almost against his will, he continued to be a leading influence in contemporary literature.
		“Werther” is as unified as “Wilhelm Meister” is unorganized.

	Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (in German, Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre) was a 1795 novel by Goethe.
		While his The Sorrows of Young Werther, his breakthrough success the previous year, featured a hero driven to suicide by despair, the hero of Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship went through quite the opposite journey: he went through a journey of self-realization that led to an actualized adulthood.
		The story centers upon Wilhelm's attempt to escape the restrictions placed upon his life and find life as a writer and actor.

		He has small sense of his duties to others; he wastes himself in dreams of little profit; and it is out of such stuff as this that a worthy, useful, even admirable man is to be formed.
		3 Here in “Wilhelm Meister” a foolish dreamer is to be formed into a true man; the vague and void of indefinite idealism is to be filled hereafter by a life of well-chosen, well-defined activity.
		He is to be educated not in the schools—it is now unhappily too late for that—but by the harder discipline of life; he is to be delivered from the splendid prison painted with idle visions into the liberty of modest well-doing.—From “New Studies in Literature” (1895).

		Wilhelm alone continued sitting in his place: he was not able to compose himself: what he felt, he durst not think; and every thought seemed ready to destroy his feeling.
		The invisible Chorus joined in with the last words: but no one heard the strengthening sentiment; all were too much busied with themselves, and the emotions which these wonderful disclosures had excited.
		It was not till the music had altogether died away, that their sorrows, thoughts, meditations, curiosity again fell on them with all their force, and made them long to be transported back into that exalting scene.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Der Nachsommer [Indian Summer]
		Like Goethe’s hero Wilhelm Meister, Heinrich is the son of a merchant (as the first sentence of the novel tells us), and he is equally disinterested in the practical world of trade and commerce.
		Wilhelm Meister rejects his bourgeois home to run away with a socially marginal theater troupe, using the stage and his love of Shakespeare to act out his Oedipal conflict in a performance of Hamlet.
		There is less of the obsessive identification of Wilhelm Meister’s encounter with Hamlet, but it is significant that Heinrich’s father consciously directs his son to a play in which he views father-daughter incest, and that he is safely steered by the performance toward the sanctioned object of desire, Natalie.

		Of this Wilhelm is ignorant, and settles his affections on Philine, a pretty actress.
		Speedy recovery comes to the invalid, and Wilhelm, having now forgotten the fascinations of Philine, is ready to return her love and make her his own.

		Tobin demonstrates how Wilhelm Meister, the primary patient of the Tower Society, is wounded and suffers from theater mania and narcissism.
		One of the ramifications of Wilhelm's mirroring himself in the female characters is that he must identity with and impersonate female characters as he progresses toward manhood.
		Ultimately Wilhelm is "cured" of his ilness; for the Tower Society proof of the cure is that he has learned to be both a husband and a father, thus fitting into the nascent heterosexual world order endorsed by eighteenth-century German medicine.

		Yet is only in volume 3 that Goethe's readers become aware of this shadowy society and then all that they are told is that Wilhelm has been watched over by this league during his travels and that they believe him to have learned enough of life to be considered to have passed his apprenticeship.

		This work belongs, in all senses, to the second and sounder period of Goethe’s life, and may indeed serve as the fullest, if perhaps not the purest, impress of it; being written with due forethought, at various times, during a period of no less than ten years.
		Considered as a piece of Art, there were much to be said on “Meister”; all which, however, lies beyond our present purpose.
		We are here looking at the work chiefly as a document for the writer’s history; and in this point of view, it certainly seems, as contrasted with its more popular precursor, to deserve our best attention: for the problem which had been stated in “Werther,” with despair of its solution, is here solved.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Bildungsroman
		Wilhelm von Humboldt, influenced by a botanical and morphological framework from the natural sciences, achieved maybe the most refined and comprehensive definition of Bildung as a combination of Anbildung (acquisition of qualities or knowledge), Ausbildung (development of already existing qualities), Entfaltung (creative broadening of acquired skills or qualities without external restriction) and Assimilation.
		Even in the ten years between Goethe's Wilhelm Meister and Hegel's Phenomenology the idea of Bildung and its literary representation were highly disputed: Schiller disliked the philosophical underpinning of Goethe's novel; Novalis remained ambivalent about it.
		Wilhelm Meister was clearly influenced by the English sentimental tradition, particularly Richardson and Sterne.

	Review by Franz Futterknect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This, at least, is the major tenet of John Blair's interpretation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
		Therefore, Wilhelm Meister appears in Blair's reading as a representation of dichotomies, surrounded by figures or placed in situations that do not stimulate the process of his self-formation, but rather, its ideologically concealed deformation.
		The fact that Wilhelm, at the end of the novel, turns to the enlightened Society of the Tower qualifies him as Goethe put it himself—as "a poor dog."

		It was the first of his 'Wilhelm Meister' settings, and one of two poems from the novel which he only set once (the other was 'Kennst du das Land').
		Although the text is by Goethe, the song 'An Mignon', D161 (q.v.), has no connection with 'Wilhelm Meister'.
