About this book
Goethe's five-act tragedy Egmont is set in Brussels as the Netherlands begin to resist Spanish rule. Count Egmont, a Flemish general popular with his countrymen, shares the stage with Margaret of Parma, the Regent, the Duke of Alva and William of Orange, while Clara, whom he loves, and the citizens of Brussels fill out the cast. Goethe began the play in 1775, finished it at Rome in 1787, and it first appeared in 1788. Anna Swanwick's translation comes with an introductory note, and Beethoven wrote music for the play.
