Summary/Abstract: The theme “What did the Serbs read when they read Goethe...” implies a diachronic analysis of our discourse with this great German poet, a discussion about when, which and how Goethe’s works were received in our country over time, and how the meaning of some of the poet’s statements even tended to change. However, we will only give a short outline of this diachrony only to focus exclusively on one text, Lazarević’s Werther, and based on the synchronic elements in this text, analyze its intertextual connection to Goethe’s work.
