Johann Christopher Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was, with Goëthe, the supreme dramatist and lyric poet of the great classical age of German literature. In this study T.J. Reed carefully considers the popular image of Schiller as a serious moralizer, and finds that, though he was indeed concerned with morality, his passion, subtlety and wit make him a more complex and sympathetic personality than posterity has appreciated.
