Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) absorbed the fertile ideas of the
German Enlightenment, observed first-hand fresh developments in
German Romanticism, and fostered one of Europe's last great
Classical movements. His insights into the human condition have
endured and are as valuable now as they were when he first wrote.
His characterisations of human nature remain compelling and his
stylistic achievements in language continue to be admired and
studied. His writing spanned many genres - poetry, prose, drama,
history, philosophy - and includes a rich correspondence with
Goethe. In this volume, an interdisciplinary and international
group of scholars examines the many sides that Schiller displays.
The contributors illuminate key facets of his ideas by organising
his writing around his various vocations: his medical training;
work as a poet, young dramatist, and author of literary prose; his
tenure as a university professor and historian; the mutually
productive partnership with Goethe; his philosophical writings; and
his final years as a mature playwright. His afterlife, what
Schiller has meant to Germans for two centuries, is also
considered.
