John Stuart Blackie (1809-1895), who translated and contributed notes and preliminary remarks to this edition of Goethe's "Faust", was a Scottish scholar and man of letters. He spent 3 years studying theology at Aberdeen after attending classes at Edinburgh University and then subsequently traveled to study in Germany in 1829. He was influenced by Heeren, Muller, Schleiermacher, Neander and Bockh and accompanied Bunsen to Italy. He was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in 1934, the same year he published his translation of Goethe's "Faust" which was highly regarded by Thomas Carlyle. Despite subsequent setbacks, his translation of Aeschylus garnered him further praise. Blackie was a radical and Scottish nationalist and reveled in those themes, in addition to the classics and Greek studies. Very good .
