About this book

Schiller's history of the Thirty Years' War comes here in the Rev. A. J. W. Morrison's translation, from a collected English edition of his works. Book I covers the effects of the Reformation, the revolt in Bohemia, Frederick V's acceptance of the Bohemian crown and the Battle of Prague. Book II turns to Wallenstein's imperial army, the Edict of Restitution, Gustavus Adolphus and the Swedish invasion, the siege of Magdeburg and the Battle of Leipzig. Book III follows Gustavus after Leipzig, as he crosses the Lech and Wallenstein retakes command.

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was a German poet, playwright, and historian, and with Goethe a founder of Weimar classicism. His dramas of freedom and moral struggle, and his Ode to Joy set to music by Beethoven, made him one of the most beloved writers in the German language.
