Theatralität und Öffentlichkeit
Schillers Spätdramatik und die Tragödie der französischen Klassik
[Theatricality and the Public Sphere. Schiller's Later Plays and French Classical Tragedy]
Series:Quellen und Forschungen zur Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte 75
Aims and Scope
This study seeks to explain why Schiller’s later plays, written after the reception of Kant’s aesthetics and in response to the French revolution, imply a concept of the public and the public sphere that is closely akin to that of classical French tragedy. The author attributes the aesthetic and political character of the dramas to their implicit relationship with the theatrical public. This historical perspective allows the development of a model of theatricality that was characteristic of classical French drama well before the era of Schiller and bourgeois tragedy.
