The Sorrows of Young Werther explores the conflicts between ideas and feelings, between circumstance and desire, continues in his controversial novel probing the institution of marriage, Elective Affinities.
The cosmic drama of Faust goes far beyond the realism of the novels in a poetic exploration of good and evil, while Italian Journey, written in the author’s old age, recalls his youth in Italy and the impact of Mediterranean culture on a young northerner.

“I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strength, happiness and misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own”
― from THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER (1774) by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living."
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749~
 German poet, novelist, and dramatist. In 1791 he was appointed director of the Weimar court theatre, a post he held for many years. In the field of literature his most famous work was the poetic drama in two parts, Faust

Correspondence Between Schiller and Goethe

他和他哥哥（創建柏林大學的語言學家Wilhelm von
Humboldt 1767~1835）一樣，都是德國文化偶像，與歌德、席勒、貝多芬齊名。

Goethe, Schiller, Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt in Jena, c. 1797
In 1830 Humboldt edited and published his correspondence with the poet Schiller and included a lengthy essay “On Schiller and the Path of his Intellectual Development” (“Ueber Schiller und den Gang seiner Geistesentwicklung”, GS Vol 6: 492–527).

In the same year appeared also an extensive essay on the late Goethe in the form of a review of the concluding part of the poet’s Italian Journeythat had been published the previous year. There he attempted, as he had done before in his Schiller essay, to interpret the various sides of the poet from one central point of view: this time from the poet’s perception of art and nature (“Rezension von Goethes Zweitem römischen Aufenthalt”, GS Vol 6: 528–550).

Art in its most basic sense is to be understood as the transformation of what is real into an image (Das Wirkliche in ein Bild zu verwandeln, GS Vol 2: 126, de transformer en image ce qui, dans la nature est réel”, GS Vol 1: 1). The art of the poet, more specifically, “consists in his ability or competence (Fertigkeit) to render the imagination creative according to rules”, to incite the imagination through the imagination (GS Vol 2: 127) and thereby create “a live act of communication” (lebendige Mitteilung) (GS Vol 2: 132). Among all the arts poetry occupies a special position in Humboldt’s view, because the material from which it is fashioned is not like ordinary material, as the stone or marble the sculptor uses, but instead consists of something already endowed with form, namely language. Poetry therefore “is art through language”. Through his imagination the poet creates works that represent “a world” embodying a totality of their own that differs in principle from the world of reality. In his definition of art Humboldt no longer looks at artworks as objects in order to gather from them a list of quasi objective qualities from which the nature of art could then be derived, but instead focuses on the process of aesthetic production and the rules by which it is governed and on how these rules are revealed in the poet’s art. In other words, a generative one has replaced the traditional mimetic or objective concept of art.

Defenestrations of Prague  歐洲列強均想插手帝國事務，以獲取利益。它們分為兩派，其中哈布斯堡王朝集團由奧地利大公國、西班牙帝國與神聖羅馬帝國的天主教諸侯國組成，並得到羅馬教皇及波蘭立陶宛聯盟的支持；而另一方為反哈布斯堡王朝集團，由法蘭西王國、丹麥王國、瑞典帝國、荷蘭及德意志的新教諸侯國組成，並得到英格蘭王國、俄國的支持。法國雖是天主教國家，但是在首相黎塞留樞機主教的主導下，對於世俗政治的考量勝過了神學觀念，為削弱歐洲大陸上的頭號競爭對手哈布斯堡王朝，毅然支持新教國家陣營。 戰爭導火線是1618年的波希米亞（即今捷克）人民反抗神聖羅馬帝國的民族及宗教起義，著名的布拉格擲窗事件（或稱扔出窗外事件）。而整場戰爭共分為4個階段，分別是波希米亞階段（1618年－1624年）、丹麥階段（1625年－1629年）、瑞典階段（1630年－1635年）及法國-瑞典階段（1636年－1648年），最後以哈布斯堡王朝集團戰敗，參戰各國於1648年簽訂《威斯特伐利亞和約》為止，共達三十年之久。

Wallenstein《華倫斯坦三部曲》 (1800年)
 is the popular designation for a trilogy of dramas by German author Friedrich Schiller. It consists of the plays Wallenstein's Camp (Wallensteins Lager), a lengthy prologue, The Piccolomini (Die Piccolomini), and Wallenstein's Death (Wallensteins Tod).

The plays' premieres occurred at the Weimarer Hoftheater (now the Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar) from 1798 to 1799, in productions directed by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
The Capuchin's sermon in Wallenstein's Camp is based on the Discalced Augustinian Abraham a Sancta Clara's 1683 book, Auf, auf, ihr Christen. Schiller, who like Abraham was from Swabia, wrote to Goethe, "This Father Abraham is a man of wonderful originality, whom we must respect, and it would be an interesting, though not at all an easy, task to approach or surpass him in mad wit and cleverness."

"To suffer, to weep,
To enjoy, to be glad,"
~ "Prometheus" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
“Dare to be wise! Energy and spirit is needed to overcome the obstacles which indolence of nature as well as cowardice of heart oppose to our instruction. It is not without significance that the old myth makes the goddess of Wisdom emerge fully armed from the head of Jupiter; for her very first function is warlike. Even in her birth she has to maintain a hard struggle with the senses, which do not want to be dragged from their sweet repose. “ (Friedrich Schiller)

維蘭德Christoph Martin Wieland 1733~1813，被譽為“魏瑪古典主義第一人”和“德國的伏爾泰”，與歌德、席勒、赫爾德並稱魏瑪古典主義四大奠基人，啟蒙運動時期的重要作家，詩人、批評家、哲學家、出版家和翻譯家。維蘭德一生創作了近70部作品。他首先將莎士比亞的22部劇本譯成德文，編為《莎士比亞戲劇集》。
在魏瑪期間，他創辦的德國啟蒙運動時期影響最大的文學雜誌《德意志信使》Der teutsche Merkur，在德國文化史上產生過深遠影響。
晚年的維蘭德傾心從事對古希臘、古羅馬文學翻譯，如阿里斯托芬、色諾芬、賀拉斯、盧奇安和西塞羅等人的作品。

Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock(克洛卜施托克1724～1803) Goethe in his autobiography recorded his personal impression of Klopstock: "He was of small stature, but well built. His manners were grave and decorous, but free from pedantry. His address was intelligent and pleasing. On the whole, one might have taken him for a diplomatist. He carried himself with the self-conscious dignity of a person who has a great moral mission to fulfil. He conversed with facility on various subjects, but rather avoided speaking of poetry and literary matters."[2]
主要作品有《救世主》(1745～1773)和抒情詩《頌歌》(1747～1780)。其中《頌歌》對德國作曲影響深遠。還寫作劇本。

7 - Goethe and the Weimar theatre
Goethe was Director of the Weimar Court Theatre from 1791 to 1817 and steered it from comparative insignificance to national importance, as a theatre where a repertoire of literary merit was combined with a style of playing predicated on a classical aesthetic. This style, in its decisive departure from the realistic tendencies of the contemporary German stage, aroused controversy and dissent, both in Goethe's day and after. Whether a rare flowering or a theatrical dead end, the Weimar theatre under Goethe, particularly during the years of collaboration with Schiller (1798-1805), was at the very least a highly significant experiment that raised the national level of debate about theatrical performance.

Goethe's major plays were not, on the whole, written with the stage in mind, nor did he take on the directorship of the theatre in order to put them on the stage, for they formed only a tiny part of the repertoire. His concern was, within the constraints imposed by the means at his disposal, to bring to audiences the great plays of world literature in a vivid yet elevated style and thus take German theatre out of its provinciality.
German theatrical life underwent huge changes in the course of the eighteenth century. For the first half the commercial theatre with dedicated buildings hardly existed. Theatrical life was divided between the courts and the non-aristocratic sector. The former was served largely by French theatre companies and Italian opera companies, and there was only limited access for members of the bourgeoisie.

[44]  "I call the living--I mourn the dead--I break the lightning." These words are inscribed on the great bell of the Minster of Schaffhausen--also on that of the Church of Art near Lucerne. There was an old belief in Switzerland that the undulation of air caused by the sound of a bell, broke the electric fluid of a thunder-cloud.



歡樂就是堅強的發條，使永恆的自然循環不息。在世界的大鐘裡面，歡樂是推動齒輪的動力。 —— 席勒 《歡樂頌》

Slowly now the cords upheave her!       From her earth-grave soars the bell;      Mid the airs of heaven we leave her!       In the music-realm to dwell!         Up--upwards yet raise--         She has risen--she sways.    Fair bell to our city bode joy and increase,    And oh, may thy first sound be hallowed to peace! [47]
[47]  Written in the time of the French war.


Goethe wrote his epilogue to the "Song of the Bell" shortly after Schiller’s death in order to have it read by the actress Amalie Becker at the conclusion of a memorial celebration in the Lauchstädt Theater. After the three last acts of Maria Stuart, the "Song of the Bell" was recited with distributed roles.

伯林總結了浪漫主義運動中蘊含的兩種深刻內涵，
一爲自由意志的無限張揚，一爲否認事物有其固有本質（頁117）。
啓蒙運 動及其傳統歌頌和諧的自然，人是其中一個組成部分，浪漫主義則貶低自然，高揚意志自由；啓蒙運動及其傳統認爲宇宙萬物皆有一種既定構造，中規中矩，浪漫主 義則否認有這樣一種縝密的理性構造，張揚無限創造的活力和運動過程。

"Prometheus" is a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in which the character of the mythic Prometheus addresses God (as Zeus) in misotheist accusation and defiance.

The poem was written between 1772 and 1774 and first published in 1789 after an anonymous and unauthorised publication in 1785 by Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi. It is an important work of the Sturm und Drang movement.
