Short answers, pulled from the story.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe began drafting the earliest versions of his play between 1772 and 1775. These initial drafts, known as the Urfaust, contained twenty-two scenes with one written in prose and another largely in prose.
Scholars have lost the original manuscript of the Urfaust but a copy surfaced in 1886 to confirm its existence. The first printed appearance arrived later when Faust, a Fragment appeared in 1790.
A partial English verse translation appeared anonymously in 1821 published by Thomas Boosey and Sons with illustrations by Moritz Retzsch. Frederick Burwick and James C. McKusick attributed this work to Samuel Taylor Coleridge in a 2007 Oxford University Press edition.
