New essays providing a in-depth view of the many facets of the
great world poet's work. Friedrich Schiller is not merely one of
Germany's foremost poets. He is also one of the major German
contributors to world literature. The undying words he gave to
characters such as Marquis Posa in Don Carlos and Wilhelm Tell in
the eponymous drama continue to underscore the need for human
freedom. Schiller cultivated hope in the actualization of moral
knowledge through aesthetic education and critical reflection,
leading to his ideal of a more humane humanity. At the same time,
he was fully cognizant of the problems that attend various forms of
idealism. Yet for Schiller, ultimately, love remains the
gravitational center of the universe and of human existence, and
beyond life and death joy prevails. This collection of cutting-edge
essays by some of the world's leading Schiller experts constitutes
a milestone in scholarship. It includes in-depth discussions of the
writer's major dramatic and poeticworks, his essays on aesthetics,
and his activities as historian, anthropologist, and physiologist,
as well as of his relation to the ancients and of Schiller
reception in 20th-century Germany. Contributors: Steven

These notes deal with deformation theory of complex analytic singularities and related objects. The first part treats general theory. The central notion is that of versal deformationin several variants. The theory is developed both in an abstract way and in a concrete way suitable for computations. The second part deals with more specific problems, specially on curves and surfaces. Smoothings of singularities are the main concern. Examples are spread throughout the text.
