Schiller's Poems - The Second Period
This collection of poems by Friedrich Schiller belongs to the second period of his works (1785 - 1789) and contains the widely known "Hymn to Joy," also known as "Ode to Joy," which became the basis for the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was a phase of Schiller's intense occupation with history and with drama. But even though Schiller wrote only few poems during this time, particularly the above mentioned "Hymn to Joy" and the poem "Resignation," which features the religious contention between a deceased soul and eternity, these poems do give a fascinating insight into the genius of this giant of German Literature. This volume follows Schiller's Poems - The First Period - (ISBN 978-1-78139-092-4).
