"Werther and the End of Epistolarity, 1774-1824" investigates a transformative moment in Anglo-German literary relations from the late-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. While scholars have analyzed Werther in terms of the history of sentiment and of suicide, I situate the novel further within discussions of genre by asking what role Werther in translation played in the death of the epistolary novel in Britain. I argue that Werther kills off the epistolary novel. I trace the extensive afterlives both the character and novel enjoyed particularly in Britain, as part of a larger narrative of national literary character exchange, and I uncover how subsequent novelists use Werther's abbreviated epistolarity as a template for their own. I suggest that Werther's monologism, rather than changing the novel as a genre, in fact produces the first person, ego-driven narrator found in British Romantic poetry. The dissertation maps out the British reverberations of Werther as a "literary meteor" (to quote Thomas Carlyle) and thus demonstrates that this German novel plays a central albeit previously neglected role in British literary history.
