Schiller

[bazarov]

There is no Schiller on author list but I couldn't find it on web also so...Has anyone heard for his play Cunigunda or Kunigunda??? I almost 100% positive that he wrote it but I can't find it anywhere, with him or with an another author. If somebody knows something, please... :confused:

I can't remember ever to have seen it written by Schiller, but I'm no expert on Schiller.

But - the motif of Kaiserin Kunigunde, the legend of Kunigunde und Heirich was a widely spread fairy tail. Do you remember any details from the play?

[bazarov]

I remember Kunigunde from Brothers Karamazov, it was mentioned once, and said that that is Schiller. Ivan said ''Hvale gospo ne tražim!!'' but I can't find it in the book...

The only piece of Schiller's work where Kunigunde makes an appearance (at least to my knowledge right away) is this:

Der Handschuh - The Glove (Edited:The "glove" of course, some people just can't spell, sorry.)

[…]
Und mit Erstaunen und mit Grauen
Sehen's die Ritter und Edelfrauen,
Und gelassen bringt er den Handschuh zurück.
Da schallt ihm sein Lob aus jedem Munde,
Aber mit zärtlichem Liebesblick -
Er verheißt ihm sein nahes Glück -
Empfängt ihn Fräulein Kunigunde.
Und er wirft ihr den Handschuh ins Gesicht:
"Den Dank, Dame, begehr' ich nicht,"
Und verlässt sie zur selben Stunde.

YES!!! It's about the glove, a knight goes in the cave for it, and then he says he need no love like that...Thanks!! What is the name of that?? The Glove??

There are some texts of Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schillers (1759-1805) works available in English, he's now on the list to be added to the site :)
