World Encyclopedia | Date: 2005

Schiller, Johann Christoph Friedrich von (1759–1805) German dramatist, historian, and philosopher. His early blank verse plays, such as The Robbers (1781) and Don Carlos (1787), are classics of the Sturm und Drang period. Schiller's aesthetic and philosophical ideas were influenced by the idealism of Kant. His masterpiece is the trilogy Wallenstein (1800). Other historical plays include Mary Stuart (1801), Maid of Orleans (1801), and William Tell (1804). Schiller's “Ode to Joy” forms the finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
