"Home Life of Great Authors" by Hattie Tyng Griswold is a collection of biographical sketches written in the late 19th century. The book explores the personal lives and home environments of several notable authors, focusing on aspects often overlooked in traditional biographies. Rather than providing in-depth critiques or comprehensive life histories, the work offers readers a glimpse into the domestic settings and unique circumstances that shaped the creative processes of these influential literary figures. The opening of the text presents a preface in which Griswold explains her intention to write these sketches for busy individuals who seek to connect with their favorite authors on a more personal level without delving into extensive literature. The beginning sections introduce Wolfgang Goethe's early life, detailing his upbringing in a gloomy house in Frankfort-on-the-Main, the influence of his parents, especially his supportive mother, and his initial manifestations of genius through early education and romantic interests. Thus, the initial chapters set the stage for a series of intimate portrayals that reveal how the inner lives of these authors were shaped by their home experiences.
