Sämtliche Werke vols. 1-6 - Schiller, Friedrich 1759-1805 (Stuttgart Fackel, 1984)
vol. 6: Historische Schriften
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a German playwright, poet, and philosopher. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller developed a productive, if complicated, friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works that he had left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism.
