Portrait of Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller, one of Germany's most distinguished poets, playwrights and philosophers, stands as a defining voice of the late Enlightenment and early Romantic periods. His works explore freedom, moral duty and the human spirit with a precision and passion that continue to resonate. From his early dramas of rebellion to his later reflections on aesthetics and ethics, Schiller's writing shaped the intellectual and cultural landscape of Europe.

Readers are drawn to Schiller for his eloquent balance of emotion and reason, as well as his profound belief in the transformative power of art. His enduring influence can be felt not only in literature, but also in the ideals of liberty and dignity that underpin modern thought. Each edition of his work invites discovery, offering both timeless drama and philosophical depth.

    Book SynopsisFriedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the most influential of all playwrights, the author of deeply moving dramas that explored human fears, desires and ideals. Written at the age of twenty-one, The Robbers was his first play. A passionate consideration of liberty, fraternity and deep betrayal, it quickly established his fame throughout Germany and wider Europe. Wallenstein, produced nineteen years later, is regarded as Schiller's masterpiece: a deeply moving exploration of a flawed general's struggle to bring the Thirty Years War to an end against the will of his Emperor. Depicting the deep corruption caused by constant fighting between Protestants and Catholics, it is at once a meditation on the unbounded possible strength of humanity, and a tragic recognition of what can happen when men allow themselves to be weak.

    Book SynopsisSchiller's play of 1800 pits Mary Queen of Scots against her rival Elizabeth of England. The meeting never happened, but Goethe claimed 'It will be good to see those whores alongside each other.' Schiller's Mary redeems her youthful crimes through an ordeal that lifts her into the realms of spiritual serenity, while Elizabeth descends deeper into rage, revenge and deception. Peter Oswald's version, mixing poetry and prose, opened at the Donmar Warehouse in London’s West End in July 2005.Trade ReviewAeschylus’ Oresteia might be the cornerstone of Western drama, but it’s not an easy ask. However, in adaptor/director Robert Icke’s outstanding modern updating, which achieves the hurtling momentum of the best box-sets, it’s slickly compelling viewing…suffice to say there’s a firm sense…of a man in full and joyous command of his complex material… This is Greek drama humanised and modernised and it’s a tremendous acheivement. * Evening Standard *Icke’s heartfelt, occasionally blackly comic adaptation… life, in all its mundanity, heightened into something remarkable. Or maybe Chekhov and Icke’s skilfully wrought frame is a reminder that there never was anything more remarkable than life itself. * Time Out *Exhilarating - a fast moving narrative about the imprisoning effect of power. * Guardian *

    Book SynopsisIncludes the plays The Robbers and Passion and PoliticsTwo plays concerned with tyranny and freedom. Schiller's first play, The Robbers (1781), was written in great secrecy under the prison like conditions of Württenberg's Karlsschule: Karl, the son of a count, is disinherited through the machinations of his brother Franz, and, turning his back on a social order he finds unjust and corrupt, becomes the leader of a band of robbers.In Passion and Politics (1784), a 'bourgeoise tragedy', the love between Louise, a musician's daughter, and Ferdinand, a politician's son, crosses an unbridgeable social divide.One of the great figures in German literature, Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the most significant playwright of his day, numbering among his devotees Coleridge and Carlyle. His plays are known for their originality of form, vivid stage imagery and powerful language, faithfully rendered in Robert David MacDonald's acclaimed translations.

    Book SynopsisThe brooding, introverted Count von O— arrives in Venice during the carnival in order to escape from his duties and live incognito. But after encountering an enigmatic Armenian stranger who makes an uncanny pronouncement, a bizarre chain of events unfolds, involving a Jesuit secret society, a ghostly seance and a mysterious Sicilian magician – leading the Count to question his faith and morality. First serialized in 1787–89, this multilayered, fragmentary novel – which gave Friedrich Schiller a platform to expound his Enlightenment ideas on society and religion – has thrilled and engaged lovers of Gothic literature for over two centuries.Trade ReviewFrederick von Schiller was something more than a great author; he was also in an eminent sense a great man; and his works are not more worthy of being studied for their singular force and originality than his moral character for its nobility and aspiring grandeur. -- Thomas De Quincey

Mike Poulton's electrifying new version' * Time Out *'Poulton's elegant script contains delicious cynicism about politics and some grand insults: "You civil-servile, rat-faced, write-scribbling pox-blister"' * Daily Mail *
