During the last seventeen years of his life 1788–1805 Schiller developed a productive if complicated friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works that he had left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. Together they founded the Weimar Theater which became the leading theater in Germany. Their collaboration helped lead to a renaissance of drama in Germany. <br /> <br /> In September 2008 the German-French TV channel Arte conducted a poll among its viewers to determine the greatest European playwright "King of Drama". Schiller was voted in second place after Williiam Shakespeare.<br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT: FINE & UNREAD <br /> <br /> The spines are square hinges and joints firm and pages tight. Many sections of the volumes are VERY tightly bound and remarkably appear unopened. Multiple leaves are not fully cut and joined together in these sections. The gilding appears to be completely intact. The spines are gently sun-lightened. The volumes show only light rubbing to extremities from minimal shelf wear over the past 120 years. The boards are colorful and clean with sumptuous supple leather. <br /> <br /> The Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays Volume I has a light red mark on its fore-edge and Volume II of this work has more rubbing than the other volumes so could be considered NEAR FINE.

19360001305Cleveland OHIO OH. Very Good. 1936. On offer is an original manuscript diary and fascinating piece of Americana being a diary written by a woman who seems to be the most self centered young woman that one can imagine. Of the 2/3 or so filled diary has entries dripping with self absorption brimming with self entitlement with a backdrop of physical pain and illness this woman may or may not being feeling. A snippet that says much: 'one of Bill's patients died last night at 12:30 so my sleep was broken ' later in a very serious tone: 'Mother just discovered Tommy our canary bird dead. We didn't even know he was sick.' This woman is a psychology thesis in human form. While unidentified we believe she is married to a Doctor William Bill Schiller though it could be Schillier. Our author is a late 20s maybe early 30s woman recently married but her family may have pushed her into it somehow. A newish doctor still wanting to go back to school for surgical training he works day and night. He is most likely staying out on purpose and by August they are in the process of divorcing. She writes: 'Spent all afternoon trying to chase up my will o'wisp husband who had a call to make. It annoys me trying to find him all the time.' Parallel to his excessive work is her procrastination and failure as an author of children's books and magazine articles. She notes one rejection notice after another. The diary is littered with complaints: he is cheap he is inattentive he is a mamma's boy he is unfeeling and on. Physically she complains about back pain toothache heart palpitations always tired having the 'jumps' all over. She complains that people think she just has a case of 'nerves'. She complains of pains in her legs. She takes shots for pain and in the writing one can see how she gets groggy and the writing gets sloppier. It seems that she takes the shots frequently. She is jealous of the relationship between her husband and his mother and his aunt and is sarcastic about them several times. He works long hours and she complains that she is left alone far too much and suggests that he is having relationships with other women. She thinks he is cold and distant from her. At one point she writes: 'I suppose I ought to get 'continental attitude' toward marriage. Along with the complaints are some tidbits of the times: news of the Simpson affair in England she admires the King's passion that he would throw it all away for his woman playing the new game Monopoly going to Kaase's Restaurant charity work . The holidays make for interesting reading as she dwells on her loss of her husband and is bitter. At no time in the diary does she ever take any responsibilty for what is happening to her it is always someone else's fault. Many names and relatives names are written about inside and local collector or historians may well establish the exact specifics of these people.
