Includes the plays The Robbers and Passion and Politics Two plays
concerned with tyranny and freedom. Schiller's first play, The
Robbers (1781), was written in great secrecy under the prison like
conditions of Wurttenberg's Karlsschule: Karl, the son of a count,
is disinherited through the machinations of his brother Franz, and,
turning his back on a social order he finds unjust and corrupt,
becomes the leader of a band of robbers. In Passion and Politics
(1784), a 'bourgeoise tragedy', the love between Louise, a
musician's daughter, and Ferdinand, a politician's son, crosses an
unbridgeable social divide. One of the great figures in German
literature, Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the most
significant playwright of his day, numbering among his devotees
Coleridge and Carlyle. His plays are known for their originality of
form, vivid stage imagery and powerful language, faithfully
rendered in Robert David MacDonald's acclaimed translations.
