Here, in scenes alternating between the palace of Westminster and the prison at Fotheringhay, he shows us a captive heroine rising above her suffering to gain in insight and spiritual depth. The deceitful and indecisive Elizabeth, trapped by the cruel demands of Realpolitik, can achieve worldly victory only at a terrible moral cost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchiller's early plays are full of violent actions and language, but he later adopted a far more restrained and formal style to try and capture the emotional essence of complex events. Perhaps more than any of his other tragedies, \u003cb\u003eMary Stuart\u003c\/b\u003e achieves a perfect balance between the \"classical,\" \"Shakespearean,\" and \"romantic\" elements of his genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriedrich Schiller (1759-1805) ranks alongside Goethe as a central figure in the golden age of German literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 7.85 x 5.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42733700350015,"sku":"9780140447118","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/fd189aa6dc47ce251d2891d77f54b9da.webp?v=1765137013","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/mary-stuart-paperback-2","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
