The Life and Works of Friedrich Schiller

Biography first published in 1901. . According to Wikipedia: "Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and dramatist. During the last few years of his life (17881805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang Goethe, with whom he greatly discussed issues concerning aesthetics, encouraging Goethe to finish works he left merely as sketches; this thereby gave way to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism."
