Historiografische Werke: Geschichte des dreißigjährigen Kriegs + Zustands von Europa zur Zeit des ersten Kreuzzugs + Die Sendung Moses und mehr

Friedrich Schiller's exploration of history is deeply rooted in Enlightenment ideas, emphasizing the aestheticization of history and the human experience within it. His works advocate for the educational role of history and introduce the method of historical analogy. This collection includes significant historical analyses, such as the Thirty Years' War and the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule, alongside reflections on notable figures like Lykurgus and Solon. Schiller's writings not only shaped his historical thought but also contributed to the development of classical historical drama.
