The Life and Works of Friedrich Schiller

Excerpt

I have wished to give a trustworthy account of Schiller and his works on
a scale large enough to permit the doing of something like justice to
his great name, but not so large as in itself to kill all hope and
chance of readableness.  By a trustworthy account I mean one that is
accurate in the matters of fact and sane in the matters of judgment. 
That there is room for an English book thus conceived will be readily
granted, I imagine, by all those who know.  At any rate Schiller is one
of those writers of whom a new appreciation, from time to time, will
always be in order.
