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.

Based, in part, on close reading of manuscripts and sources at the Zurich Thomas Mann Archive, Reed''s study has long established itself as the standard work in English on Mann''s fiction and thought. In this new edition, Reed adds a chapter on the new documentation that has appeared since thefirst edition. He details the main currents in Mann scholarship over the last two decades, suggesting how we should now see the writer, the man, and the political figure, and, above all, the complex relationship between the three.

The literary work which Goethe produced and stimulated in his Weimar years - the greater part of his life - gave to a country which was not yet a nation the centre of artistic and intellectual authority it lacked. T. J. Reed''s study traces the way this came about, against what social andpolitcal difficulties and literary opposition, and places the results in the larger context of German cultural history. The historical narrative is built up from a precise analysis of the major (and many minor) texts of the period, and weaves individual writers'' careers persuasively into the broaderpattern.

Book Excerpt: ...es, das ihm als der Inbegriffleitend-tätiger Tugend erschien. Auch wünschte er sehnlichst, alt zu werden, denn er hatte von jeher dafür gehalten, daß wahrhaft groß, umfassend, ja wahrhaft ehrenwert nur das Künstlertum zu nennen sei, dem es beschieden war, auf allen Stufen des Menschlichen charakteristisch fruchtbar zu sein.Da er also die Aufgaben, mit denen sein Talent ihn belud, auf zarten Schultern tragen und weit gehen wollte, so bedurfte er höchlich der Zucht, --und Zucht war ja zum Glücke sein eingeborenes Erbteil von väterlicher Seite. Mit vierzig, mit fünfzig Jahren wie schon in einem Alter, wo andere verschwenden, schwärmen, die Ausführung großer Pläne getrost verschieben, begann er seinen Tag beizeiten mit Stürzen kalten Wassers über Brust und Rücken und brachte dann, ein Paar hoher Wachskerzen in silbernen Leuchtern zu Häupten des Manuskripts, die Kräfte, die er im Schlaf gesammelt, in zwei oder drei inbrünstig gewissenhaften Morgenstunden der Kunst zum Opfer dar. Es war verzeihlich, ja, es bedeu...
