Love and Intrigue

Exploring the dynamic friendship between Schiller and Goethe, the book delves into their discussions on aesthetics that shaped Weimar Classicism. Over seventeen years, they collaborated on various projects, including the satirical poem collection Xenien, which critiques their philosophical adversaries. This relationship not only influenced their individual works but also left a significant mark on German literature and thought during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
