Excerpt from Schiller's Maria Stuart: Edited With Introduction and Notes

One of Schiller's dramas is usually chosen as an intro du'ction to the study of the German classics, and to serve this end the present edition of Emaria 6mm has been prepared. In writing the grammatical and lexical notes I have, accordingly, intended to give aid whenever the pupil, who knows the ordinary facts of German grammar, would be puzzled in making a correct and felicitous translation. On the other hand I have aimed to avoid giving an amount of assistance that will lead him to rely upon the notes, rather than upon a careful and intelligent use of one of the ordi nary dictionaries. Often a grammatical reference has been given and the pupil has been left the valuable exercise of working out the translation for himself. As far as practic able, the grammars by Brandt, joynes-meissner and Whitney have been cited in each instance. The biographical and historical notes have been made somewhat full, in order that the student may see, not how far Schiller has followed the facts of history, but, what is of vastly more importance, how he has employed or transformed the facts to suit his artistic purpose.

In the Introduction I have attempted to put the pupil in possession of the material necessary for the appreciation of the drama as a work of literary art, and have particularly sought to show that it fulfills the essential requirements of tragedy. No biographical sketch of the author however has been undertaken, for anything within the scope of this volume is supplied equally well by any one of several encyclopedias.
