This Very Short Introduction does exactly what a VSI should do. It
introduces the reader to its subject and explains why it is
significant, and it's pitched at a non-academic audience in
accessible language and with a coherent organisation of the
content. Ritchie Robertson's Goethe, A Very Short Introduction made
me want to drop what I'm currently reading and find out more about
this great German writer ... I can't this VSI highly enough.
