About
German writer associated with the Sturm und Drang literary movement and best known for his poetic drama, Faust. His other works include The Sorrows of Young Werther, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, and Hermann and Dorothea.
Family
He had several children with his long-time mistress, Christiane Vulpius; the couple finally married in 1806. Following Vulpius' death in 1816, Goethe fell in love with Baroness Ulrike von Levetzow (sadly, because Levetzow's mother disapproved of their relationship, the two never married).
