	Masonic references in Goethe's writings
		The freemason Johann Wolfgang von Goethe made several specific references to Freemasonry in his writings, but it is the Turmgesellschaft, or Society of the Tower, found in Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, which is most often cited.
		Wilhelm Meister's Years of Apprenticeship [Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre] by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
		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.

	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.

	Biographical Note. Goethe, J. W. von. 1917. Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship. Vol. XIV. Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction
		“Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship”, which is here published in Carlyle’s translation, remains in many respects the greatest of German novels.
		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.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Bildungsroman
		In his 1818 lecture on the nature of the Bildungsroman Morgenstern establishes Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meister's Lehrjahre (Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, 1795/6) as the paradigmatic Bildungsroman.
		Wilhelm Meister was clearly influenced by the English sentimental tradition, particularly Richardson and Sterne.
		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.

	Maenad,Mignon, and Edge: Plath and Goethe
		Goethe, in Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, used a fictional character in a novel to incarnate an archetypal thought form.
		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.
		As Wilhelm begins his inner work, his objectified Muse, Mignon, undergoes a transformation that allows her force to work into the future.

	Criticisms and Interpretations. II. By Thomas Carlyle. Goethe, J. W. von. 1917. Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship. Vol. XIV. Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction
		and every way most important, interval divides “Werther,” with its skeptical philosophy, and “hypochondriacal crotchets,” from Goethe’s next novel “Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship”, published some twenty years afterwards.
		Considered as a piece of Art, there were much to be said on “Meister”; all which, however, lies beyond our present purpose.
		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.

	Review by Franz Futterknect
		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."

		Fittingly, Goethe's numerous interests and telents, including law, geology, science and literature, come to life in Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship the precursor to Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years.
		Wilhelm Meister alter ego of Goethe himself advances through stages of life consistenting from theatre to salesman to "one that shall be married with someone of higher class than he".
		As one of the most prolific and multi-talented authors to ever set words to page, Goethe is often considered the master of early romantic works and even the patriarch of the modern novel.

	Lord Asburton And Thomas Carlyle
		It took Goethe twenty years to write Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
		His answer was, ` Read Wilhelm Meister!' I have done so again, but find nothing to meet my necessity.
		It is the story of a young man who grows tired of being a traveling salesman for his father's business house in a little town in Germany, and goes off with a theatre troupe and learns the art and becomes an actor.

		In his new book, associate professor of German Robert Tobin takes as his subject Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (1796), considered the prototype of the German bildungsroman, or novel of character development.
		Tobin shows how the work is affected by Goethe’s considerable knowledge of medicine, and he analyzes Wilhelm Meister in light of the rapidly changing 18th-century medical world.

	GOETHE, JOHANN WOLFGANG VON (1749-1832) - Online Information article about GOETHE, JOHANN WOLFGANG VON (1749-1832)
		Wilhelm Meisters tlzeatralische Sendung became Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre; the novel of purely theatrical interests was widened out to embrace the history of a young man's apprenticeship to life.
		Wilhelm Meister is a work of extraordinary variety, ranging from the commonplace realism of the troupe of strolling players to the poetic romanticism of Mignon and the harper; its flashes of intuitive criticism and its weighty apothegms add to its value as a Bildungsroman in the best sense of that word.
		The Sorrows of Werther no longer moves us to tears, and even Wilhelm Meister and Die Wahlverwandtschaften require more understanding for the conditions under which they were written than do Faust or Egmont.
