The present is the best collected edition of the important works of Schiller which is accessible to readers in the English language. Detached poems or dramas have been translated at various times since the first publication of the original works; and in several instances these versions have been incorporated into this collection. Schiller was not less efficiently qualified by nature for an historian than for a dramatist. He was formed to excel in all departments of literature, and the admirable lucidity of style and soundness and impartiality of judgment displayed in his historical writings will not easily be surpassed, and will always recommend them as popular expositions of the periods of which they treat.PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION

Ay, my good neighbors! we at least todayAre Frenchmen still, free citizens and lordsOf the old soil which our forefathers tilled.Who knows whom we tomorrow must obey?For England her triumphal banner wavesFrom every wall: the blooming fields of FranceAre trampled down beneath her chargers hoofs;Paris hath yielded to her conquering arms,And with the ancient crown of DagobertAdorns the scion of a foreign race.Our kings descendant, disinherited,Must steal in secret through his own domain;While his first peer and nearest relativeContends against him in the hostile ranks;Ay, his unnatural mother leads them on.Around us towns and peaceful hamlets burn.Near and more near the devastating fireRolls toward these vales, which yet repose in peace.Therefore, good neighbors, I have now resolved,While God still grants us safety, to provideFor my three daughters; for midst wars alarmsWomen require protection, and true loveHath power to render lighter every load.[To the first Shepherd.Come, Etienne! You seek my Margots hand.Fields lying side by side and loving heartsPromise a happy union![To the second.Claude! Youre silent,And my Louison looks upon the ground?How, shall I separate two loving heartsBecause you have no wealth to offer me?Who now has wealth? Our barns and homes affordSpoil to the foe, and fuel to the fires.In times like these a husbands faithful breastAffords the only shelter from the storm.

Mary Stuart is a verse play by Friedrich Schiller that depicts the last days of Mary, Queen of Scots. The play consists of five acts, each divided into several scenes. The play had its premiere in Weimar, Germany on 14 June 1800. The play formed the basis for Donizettis opera Maria Stuarda (1835).

Miller. Hab ihn nicht in mein Haus geschwatzthab ihm s Madel nicht nachgeworfen; wer nimmt Notiz davon?Ich war Herr im Haus. Ich hatt meine Tochter mehr coram nehmen sollen. Ich hatt dem Major besser auftrumpfen sollenoder hatt gleich Alles Seiner Excellenz, dem Herrn Papa, stecken sollen. Der junge Baron bringts mit einem Wischer hinaus, das mu ich wissen, und alles Wetter kommt uber den Geiger.Frau (schlurft eine Tasse aus). Possen! Geschwatz! Was kann uber dich kommen? Wer kann dir was anhaben? Du gehst deiner Profession nach und raffst Scholaren zusammen, wo sie zu kriegen sind.

The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller is the first drama by German playwright Friedrich Schiller. The play was published in 1781 and premiered on 13 January 1782 in Mannheim, Germany, and was inspired by Leisewitz earlier play Julius of Taranto. It was written towards the end of the German Sturm und Drang ("Storm and Stress") movement, and many critics, such as Peter Brooks, consider it very influential in the development of European melodrama.The play astounded its Mannheim audience and made Schiller an overnight sensation. It later became the basis for Verdis opera of the same name, I masnadieri.The plot revolves around the conflict between two aristocratic brothers, Karl and Franz Moor. The charismatic but rebellious student Karl is deeply loved by his father. The younger brother, Franz, who appears as a cold, calculating villain, plots to wrest away Karls inheritance. As the play unfolds, both Franzs motives and Karls innocence and heroism are revealed to be complex.Schillers highly emotional language and his depiction of physical violence mark the play as a quintessential Sturm und Drang work.[citation needed] At the same time, the play utilizes a traditional five-act structure, with each act containing two to five scenes. The play uses alternating scenes to pit the brothers against each other, as one quests for money and power, while the other attempts to create a revolutionary anarchy in the Bohemian Forest.Schiller raises many disturbing issues in the play. For instance, he questions the dividing lines between personal liberty and the law and probes the psychology of power, the nature of masculinity and the essential differences between good and evil.

The clear, smiling lake wooed to bathe in its deep,A boy on its green shore had laid him to sleep;Then heard he a melodyFlowing and soft,And sweet, as when angelsAre singing aloft.And as thrilling with pleasure he wakes from his rest,The waters are murmuring over his breast;And a voice from the deep cries,"With me thou must go,I charm the young shepherd,I lure him below."

One of European theatres major plays, Schillers masterpiece hinges on a brilliantly imagined meeting between Mary, Queen of Scots - focus of simmering Catholic dissent and her cousin Elizabeth, Queen of England, who has imprisoned her. Isolated by their duplicitous male courtiers, the women collide headlong, each wrestling with the rank, ambition and destiny their births have bestowed, against a thrilling background of intrigue, plot and counter-plot. David Harrowers version of Mary Stuart premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in October 2006.
