Who is the closest the Anglos got to Goethe? Would it be Coleridge or somebody like Byron?

Manfred is actually pretty funny if read as a parody of Faust. Obviously I think Byron was trying to be a little more serious with that work but some of his best work in general is satire and parody, like basically all of Don Juan. Byron was definitely much closer in spirit to the early Goethe than mid to late, which makes sense considering how early Byron died
