About Friedrich Schiller
Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was a prominent German poet, playwright, and philosopher, renowned for his influential works in the Sturm und Drang movement and later, Weimar Classicism. His notable plays, such as "The Robbers," "William Tell," and "Don Carlos," explore themes of freedom, morality, and the human spirit, while his poetry, like "Ode to Joy," has left a lasting legacy in literature and inspired music, most famously in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Schiller's collaboration with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe significantly shaped German literature, making him one of the most esteemed figures of the German Enlightenment.
