Friedrich Schiller

de Ivo De Gennaro

"The Academy of German-Italian Studies Meran has been calling for scientific and cultural exchange between the German and Italian-speaking world since 1959. In this context, she organizes inter alia. Symposia in which the work of important figures of German and Italian tradition is illuminated by scientists from both language areas. The present volume brings together the previous day of an international Schiller conference in which experts from German studies, Romance studies, classical philology and philosophy presented analyzes and insights into Schiller's work and its impact history. The spectrum of topics and motifs covered is correspondingly wide, ranging from Schiller's theory of the chorus and its concept of freedom through its reception by Italian romantics to the argumentation of 20th century dramatists with Schiller." --Translated from back cover
