Friedrich Schiller - Sämtliche Werke in zwölf Bänden, 1838 - 1838

Friedrich Schiller – Sämtliche Werke in zwölf Bänden, 1838 Stuttgart and Tübingen, J. G. Cotta’sche Buchhandlung, 1838 This twelve-volume edition of his Sämtliche Werke brings together the literary legacy of Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805), one of the foremost authors of German literature and a major intellectual figure of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Closely associated with the Weimar Classical movement, alongside Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Schiller occupies a central position in the development of German literary, philosophical and dramatic thought. Schiller’s work is distinguished by its sustained exploration of freedom, moral responsibility, human dignity and the relationship between the individual and society. His historical dramas, lyrical poetry, philosophical essays and reflections on aesthetics helped shape the intellectual culture of his age and contributed significantly to the broader European Enlightenment and the subsequent development of German Classicism. His literary legacy continues to be studied for its artistic ambition, philosophical depth and enduring engagement with fundamental questions of human existence. Published in Stuttgart and Tübingen in 1838 by the renowned J. G. Cotta’sche Buchhandlung, this edition belongs to the nineteenth-century tradition of collecting and preserving the complete works of major literary authors. Cotta was an important publisher in German intellectual and literary life, closely associated with the dissemination of the works of leading writers of the classical period. Editions such as this played an important role in establishing Schiller’s lasting place within the German literary canon. The twelve volumes are presented in matching dark brown bindings, distinguished by decorative gilt ornamentation and gilt lettering on the spines. Together, they form an appealing and coherent historical collection, representative of the bookbinding and publishing traditions of nineteenth-century Germany. Of particular interest to collectors of German literature, historical editions and European cultural history, this set offers both literary significance and bibliographical appeal. It represents a substantial collected edition of one of Germany’s most celebrated writers, bringing together a body of work that remains fundamental to the study of German literature and intellectual history. A noteworthy nineteenth-century collection of Schiller’s complete works, published in 1838 and presented in twelve volumes, in good condition.
