The Goethe biography sought by Paul Brians, as no doubt others have pointed
out, is Nicholas Boyle's _Goethe The Poet and The Age_, published in 1991 by
Oxford. It is now available in paperback. It is the first volume of either
two or three projected. Dirk t. D. Held, Connecticut College

The best "good outstanding Biography of Goethe" is of course:
Nicholas Boyle, Goethe, The Poet and the Age
Volume I: The poetry of Desire
(1749-1790)
Clarendon Press . Oxford, 1991
xx-807 pages
It is now in paperback. Volume II might be out, I don't know.
A thoughtful review of volume I was published by Richard Holmes in the
NYRB (volume XXXVIII, Nr 17, October 24, 1991, p.3-5)

Perhaps this was Nicholas Boyle's _Goethe: the Poet and the Age_, Vol. I:
The Poetry of Desire (1749-1790). (New York: Clarendon Press/Oxford University
Press, 1991) .
