A fresh look at the critical reception of Schiller's early dramas
such as The Robbers and Don Carlos. The interpretation of the works
of Friedrich Schiller, with Goethe one of the co-founders of German
classicism, has long been a central concern of German critics. In a
country known as 'the land of poets and thinkers,' the achievements
of great writers have been a matter of national pride and identity.
But special problems are raised by Schiller, whose dramas address
political questions more directly than those of his
fellow-classicist Goethe, yet tend toend in a manner that shifts
the focus to a general moral or metaphysical level, leaving
politically engaged readers dissatisfied. The reception of
Schiller's works is thus not only a topic in the history of
criticism, but forms achapter in the history of German political
and national consciousness. Given this situation, Professor Pugh's
study of the plays' fortunes at the hands of the various schools of
German literary scholarship is useful both to literary scholars
seeking orientation in the field and also to readers with a wider
interest in German intellectual traditions. David V. Pugh is
associate professor in the Department of German, Queen's
University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and is the author of
Dialectic of Love: Platonism in Schiller's Aesthetics.
