| Abstract | Examines the impact of Goethe's Die Leiden des jungen Werther worldwide, specifically as to the wearing of the "Werther-Tracht" by young European males. This Werther uniform comprised of a blue frock coat with brass buttons, yellow waistcoat and trousers, brown top-boots, and a round felt hat. Briefly touches upon the "unanswered" question as to whether the style of dress may have originated in the American colonies. |
