Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell: A Historical Drama is a play written by Friedrich Schiller and first published in 1804. The play is set in Switzerland during the early 14th century and tells the story of the legendary Swiss hero, William Tell, who defies the tyrannical rule of the Habsburgs and leads a rebellion against them. The play is divided into five acts and features a cast of characters that includes Tell, his wife Hedwig, his son Walter, and the villainous Gessler, the Habsburg governor of Switzerland. The play explores themes of freedom, justice, and the struggle against oppression, and has been hailed as a masterpiece of German literature.This edition of the play, published in 1867, includes an introduction by the translator, Thomas Martin, as well as notes on the text and a glossary of terms. It is a valuable resource for students of German literature, history, and drama, as well as for anyone interested in the story of William Tell and the struggle for Swiss independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
