Title: Schiller's wound
Description: "In a provocative reading of Schiller, Hammer re-envisions him as a psychologically tormented artist and argues for his pivotal role in the developing relationship between pain, spectacle, and capital in modern Anglo-European drama, literature, and film. Each chapter offers an in-depth reading of one of Schiller's plays: The Robbers, Don Carlos, the Wallenstein trilogy, The Bride of Messina, and the fragment Demetrius, all of which mark important moments of crisis in Schiller's career.".

"Schiller's Wound is an exciting work that will not only entice scholars but also serve as a useful resource for instructors who wish to reintroduce this important writer into their curricula. As the 200th anniversary of Schiller's death approaches, it will provide an invaluable context for further discussions of his work and its impact."--BOOK JACKET.
