Briefe Schillers und Goethes an A. W. Schlegel Aus den Jahren 1795 bis 1801, und 1797 bis 1824, nebst einem Briefe Schlegels an Schiller

These letters capture the lively exchange between two of Germany’s most celebrated poets and a younger critic during the turn of the 19th century. Schiller writes to the enthusiastic A. W. Schlegel with a mix of professional requests and personal warmth, inviting contributions to influential journals and praising early essays on Dante. Goethe’s occasional missives, included alongside, reveal his supportive stance and occasional humor as the trio navigates the challenges of publishing and literary ambition.

Listening to the correspondence offers a rare window into the collaborative spirit that shaped the era’s foremost literary magazines. The authentic transcription preserves every idiosyncrasy of spelling and punctuation, letting the listener hear the genuine voice of the authors as they discuss deadlines, financial mishaps, and mutual admiration. The collection invites anyone interested in German classicism to experience the behind‑the‑scenes dialogue that helped define a generation’s artistic direction.
