A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In venturing to submit to tlie public tbis attempt to render into English tbe poetical works of tbe great German lyric bard, tbe Translator feels it necessary to say one or two words respecting tbe motives wbicb bave induced bim to undertake tbe somewbat daring task of appearing in a field tbat bas been already partially occupied by otbers. Tbese translations were originally made by tbe Translator for bis own amusement; but as be proceeded in wbat bas been to bima labour of love, be was induced gradually to extend bis original idea of making a mere selection, until be at lengtb found bimself drawn on to attempt tbe wbole and accordingly tbe following pages will be found to contain a version of every piece, loithout exception, tbat is contained in tbe authorized editions of Schiller s Poems (including the fine dramatic sketch of Semele, which is now given amongst his other poems) and even all the minor pieces, which it has been usual to omit, as being without interest to the English reader. But the Translator has thought that, in order fully to appreciate tbe poetic genius of Schiller, bis poems should be viewed as a ichole.
