作者简介
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a towering figure in German literature, best known for his profound contributions as a playwright, poet, and philosopher during the literary movement known as Weimar Classicism. Born in Marbach am Neckar, Württemberg, Schiller studied medicine before turning his focus to literature. His passions extended to topics of freedom, humanity, and beauty, which permeated his dramatic and poetic works. Schiller's 'The Maid of Orleans' (1801), a romantic tragedy inspired by the life of Joan of Arc, exhibits his adeptness in interweaving historical narrative with elements of myth and morality. This drama translates the fervor of human spirit and nationalism into a poignant theatrical piece that continues to resonate with audiences. Schiller's influence extends well beyond 'The Maid of Orleans,' with works such as 'Die Räuber' (1781), 'Don Carlos' (1787), and the epochal poem 'Ode to Joy' (1785), which famously was later set to music by Ludwig van Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony. Schiller's literary style is characterized by a blend of emotional depth, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to aesthetic experience, culminating in a body of work that helps form the bedrock of German literature. His collaborations with contemporaries such as Goethe helped usher in a new age of dramatic literature and criticism, leaving a legacy of artistic ideals that reverberate through Western thought.
