In 1794, Friedrich Schiller declared that "beauty is the only
possible expression of freedom in phenomena." German Freedom and
the Greek Ideal traces this German idea of freedom from the late
Enlightenment through the early twentieth century. It focuses on
the stars of German intellectual and artistic life in the
nineteenth century, with illuminating accounts of Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe, Gottfried Semper, Richard Wagner, Friedrich Nietzsche,
and Thomas Mann. Delving deeply into their works, McGrath shows how
they invoked the ancient Greeks to in order to inspire Germans to
cultural renewal and to enrich their understanding of freedom as
something deeper and more urgent than political life could offer.
