In this study originally published in 1955, Steer explores the importance of Goethe's family concept in two autobiographical works, Campagne in Frankreich and Belagerung von Mainz. Through a close textual analysis, Steer argues that at the center of both pieces is Goethe's conception of the family as Urform of society.
