«Kabale und Liebe» is Friedrich Schiller's bourgeois tragedy, published by Reclam in paperback (128 pages, in German).
Written in 1784, the play pits Luise Miller, a musician's daughter, against Ferdinand von Walter, a nobleman. Their love collides with courtly intrigues, class divisions and absolutism, until it becomes trapped in a political and familial machinery with no way out. It is an example of Sturm und Drang and of the German bourgeois tragedy.
The subtitle is «Ein bürgerliches Trauerspiel»; it belongs to the Reclams Universal-Bibliothek collection (no. 33), with annotations, vocabulary notes and an editor's note.
It is commonly used as German school reading in secondary education and as an introduction to eighteenth-century classical theatre.
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German playwright, poet, philosopher and historian. Schiller is considered to be one of Germany's most important classical playwrights. He was one of the most important figures of the Sturm und Drang movement.
