About the author
Born in 1759 in Marbach, in what is now Germany, he trained in medicine before turning fully to literature. His early drama The Robbers made him famous, and he went on to become one of the great playwrights and poets of the German language.
His major works include Don Carlos, the Wallenstein trilogy, Mary Stuart, and William Tell. He also wrote essays on history, philosophy, and art, bringing together political passion, psychological insight, and a deep interest in liberty.
Schiller spent important years in Jena and Weimar, where his friendship with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe became one of the best-known creative partnerships in literary history. He died in 1805, but his writing has remained central to German culture and to the wider history of drama.
