Schiller, Friedrich

Schiller, Friedrich (1759–1805),
German poet and dramatist. His fascination for Shakespeare's great villains is reflected in some early plays (Die Räuber; The Robbers, 1781) and in his translation of Macbeth (1802) for the Weimar theatre. In critical writings he pleaded for the transformation of Shakespeare's ‘naive’ art into a more idealist, ‘sentimentalist’ mode that dominates in his later tragedies.
