Friedrich Schiller (November 10, 1759 in Marbach, Germany – May 9, 1805), was a German Romantic poet, philosopher, historian, and dramatist, best-known for his play The Robbers.
Collaboration with Goethe
During the last several years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller struck a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang Goethe, with whom he discussed much on issues concerning aesthetics, encouraging Goethe to finish works he left merely as sketches; this thereby gave way to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Die Xenien (The Xenies), a collection of short but harshly satiric poems in which both Schiller and Goethe verbally attacked those persons they perceived to be enemies of their aesthetic agenda.
