The Sorrows of Young Bush?? Werther was more believable. en.wikipedia.org gutenberg.org It also led to some of the first known examples of (military and political??) copycat suicide. The Sorrows of Young Werther is mentioned in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Frankenstein's monster finds the book along with three others (Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, Volney's The Ruins: Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires, and Milton's Paradise Lost) in a sack. He sees Werther's case as similar to his own. He, like Werther, was rejected by those he loved. This realization depressed the monster and, eventually, persuaded him to commit suicide. Now it is more a question of gerrymandering old districts (old Posner seems to agree)
