Product Description
Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a leading German dramatist, poet and literary theorist whose mature plays examine the inward freedom of the soul.

Among the writers of the concluding part of the 1700s, there was none more deserving of our notice than Friedrich Schiller.Distinguished alike for the splendor of his intellectual faculties, on the elevation of his tastes and feelings, he has left behind him in his works a noble emblem of these great qualities; and the reputation which he thus enjoys, and has merited, excites our attention the more, on considering the circumstances under which it was acquired.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish-born English historian and essayist who was a leading figure in the Victorian era.Brought up as a strict Calvinist, he was educated at the village school, and Annan Academy and Edinburgh University, where he studied arts and mathematics.After graduating in 1813 he became a teacher at Kirkcaldy.

Carlyle moved to Edinburgh in 1818 where he was commissioned to write several articles for the Edinburgh Encyclopedia and for the Edinburgh Review.Carlyle also began translating German writers such as Goethe and Schiller and writing original work such as The Life of Schiller (1825). ... Read more

Schillers Kabale und Liebe
Neat little book, excellent notes in back (in German), very useful for explaining archaic words and phrases. If you read this book, do look in the net for the dozen or so video clips of amateur and professional actors doing bits from the play.

Viel Spaß! ... Read more

Product Description
In this important study, Lesley Sharpe assesses Schiller's development as a dramatist, poet and thinker, and provides detailed discussions of all his major works, including his essays on aesthetics. His works are viewed against the social, political and literary background of the late eighteenth century. Spanning a period from the late 1770s to 1805 they explore the insistent themes of the age - the loss of tradition and authority, the individual's claim to self-expression and the search for stability. While the early works focus on the turbulent individual, Schiller later turns to the great public concerns of the French Revolutionary era - legitimacy and power, the exercise of freedom and the relationship between morality and politics. The aesthetic essays explore the vital role of art in integrating the aesthetic, moral and political realms. ... Read more

Product Description
When Schiller arrived in Mannheim, late in July, 1783, Dalberg was in Holland. There was nothing going on at the theater, and the sweltering town, deserted by such as could get away, was suffering from an epidemic of malarial fever. But the faithful Streicher was there and friend Meyer, the manager, and Schwan, the publisher, whose vivacious daughter, Margarete, gradually kindled in the heart of the new-comer another faint blue flame which he ultimately mistook for love. His first concern was to write to Frau von Wolzogen, who had loaned him money for his journey, a detailed report of his finances. ... Read more
