Abstract

The hypothesis of this research is that the impact of Pre-Islamic poetry appeared early in the features of the German poet, Goethe, in contrast with the critics who studied this connection. This impact appears in his novel The Sorrows of Young Wrether, which is one of his early works (1774). The researcher thinks that Goethe was unintentionally influenced by Pre-Islamic poetry in general and by Tarafah Ibn Alabd (his life and his outstanding Mu'ullaqa, the Lameyah) in particular. The research tries to clarify similarities and convergences between the two poets along with the two texts (the novel and Mu'ullaqa).
