The New Werther, by Loki [Icelandic]

by Karl Pearson

Book Overview

This satirical novel by Pearson, writing under the pseudonym Loki, is a witty send-up of the Romantic cult of individualism and emotional excess. The story follows the lovesick protagonist Werther as he wallows in his own unhappiness and alienates everyone around him. A hilarious and perceptive commentary on one of the most influential literary movements of the 19th century.
