Hume Brown is a biographical study written in the early 20th century. It explores the formative years of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, detailing his upbringing, education, and initial experiences that shaped him into a literary giant. The book delves into Goethe's family dynamics, his education, his early romantic entanglements, and the cultural milieu of Germany during the years leading to his eventual prominence in literature. The opening of the work sets the stage for Goethe's life in Frankfort from 1749 to 1765, portraying a childhood steeped in both privilege and struggles. It highlights the contrasting influences of his parents, notably the tension with his father and the nurturing relationship with his mother. Brown describes Goethe's early fascination with literature, art, and nature, as well as pivotal experiences, such as his first love, which marked the transition from boyhood to manhood.
