Summary: "Goethe and Schiller: An Historical Romance" by L. Mühlbach is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives and struggles of the famous German poets Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller, exploring themes of creativity, friendship, and the challenges faced by artists in a society that often neglects their needs. The narrative likely delves into their personal and professional lives during a time of great intellectual and cultural upheaval in Germany. The opening of the novel introduces us to Schiller, a passionate but impoverished poet, as he writes late into the night despite being called back to rest by a watchman concerned for his health. Schiller's internal struggles with poverty, illness, and the pressures of artistic creation are heavily highlighted, revealing a man torn between idealism and harsh reality. His deep yearning for recognition and appreciation as a poet is contrasted with the bitter truth of his financial difficulties and the sacrifices he feels he must make. When his friend Andrew Streicher and another acquaintance visit him with news of mounting debts and challenges, it becomes clear that Schiller is not alone in his struggles, setting the stage for their interwoven fates in the complex world of 18th-century German literature and society.
