Author

Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) was the great dramatist of German liberty — The Robbers, Mary Stuart, Wilhelm Tell — and a poet-philosopher of the beautiful and the sublime. With Goethe he made Weimar a capital of letters. Schiller's plays turn history into moral weather: tyranny, honour, and the chance of a free people. With 22 titles in our catalogue, he remains a founding voice of European Romantic drama.
