Proposal
This research analyzes ten lesser-known works by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller–two notable authors of late 18th and early 19th century German literature–for how the pieces display the author’s worldview and how they fit into the literary genres of the time. These works have not been previously studied in depth. To gain a holistic view of the writings, the researchers also analyzed previous research on Goethe and Schiller. Conclusions to the literary analysis explain the reasoning behind why each piece fits within the Klassik, Romantik, or Sturm und Drang literary period.
