New essays by top international Schiller scholars on the reception
of the great German writer and dramatist, emphasizing his realist
aspects. The works of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) -- an
innovative and resonant tragedian and an important poet, essayist,
historian, and aesthetic theorist -- are among the best known of
German and world literature. Schiller's explosive original artistry
and feel for timely and enduring personal tragedy embedded in
timeless sociohistorical conflicts remain the topic of lively
academic debate. The essays in this volume address the many
flashpoints and canonicalshifts in the cyclically polarized
reception of Schiller and his works, in pursuit of historical and
contemporary answers to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's expression of
frightened admiration in 1794: "Who is this Schiller?" The
responses demonstrate pronounced shifts from widespread
twentieth-century understandings of Schiller: the overwhelming
emphasis here is on Schiller the cosmopolitan realist, and little
or no trace is left of the ultimately untenable view of Schiller as
an abstract idealist who turned his back on politics. Contributors:
