Summary | "The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 03" by Francke is a collection of German literary works, primarily from the famous poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller, written during the late 19th century. This volume includes a selection of Schiller's poems, dramas, and introductory essays, highlighting his contributions to German literature and philosophy. The content delves into themes of freedom, beauty, and the complexities of human existence, reflecting Schiller's view on morality, aesthetics, and the pursuit of truth. The opening of this volume provides a biographical overview of Friedrich Schiller, detailing his early years, education, and the development of his radical literary voice. It explores his transformation from a student of medicine into a revolutionary dramatist and poet, capturing his struggles against societal norms and personal challenges. The text showcases Schiller's vital works, such as "The Robbers," which paved the way for a new type of tragic narrative, and offers insights into his philosophical inquiries and friendships, particularly with Goethe. This portion sets the stage for readers to appreciate the significance of Schiller's work and the historical context that shaped his profound influence on German literature and thought.
