Keywords: historical drama; historical situations and personal conflicts; psychological effects; fellow-feeling; historical authenticity and poetic truth

Summary/Abstract: In my study, I examine the question of how the poetic representation of the historical period and its personalities is intertwined in Schiller’s historical plays. Schiller himself also wrote historical works, e. g. about the Thirty Years’ War and about the Dutch Revolt. In my paper, I deal with three main questions: I. General characteristics of the connections of historiography, philosophy of history and dramatic art in Schiller. II. Schiller’s analysis of the mode of action of tragedy. III. Historical situations and personal confl icts in his great historical dramas.
