Die Braut von Messina oder Die Feindlichen Brüder
Originally published in 1913, this book contains the German text of Schiller's tragedy Die Braut von Messina, which caused controversy at its debut for its incorporation of a variety of tropes from ancient theatre. Breul includes a long introduction on the history and reception of the play, its relationship with classical drama and a synopsis, as well as parallel passages from Aeschylus, Schiller and Goethe, and relevant extracts from Schiller's correspondence in the notes following the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the reception of classical theatre or Schiller.
The Reformation of Suffering
Protestant reformers sought to effect a radical change in the way their contemporaries understood and coped with the suffering of body and soul that were so prominent in the early modern period. This book examines the genesis of Protestant doctrines of suffering among the leading reformers and then traces the transmission of these doctrines from the reformers to the common clergy. It also examines the reception of these ideas by lay people.
