The author elucidates Schiller’s appropriation of themes from Euripides’s Iphigenia plays, chiefly the quality of “sublime sanctity,” which transforms Joan’s image from a victim of fate to a warrior-prophet who changes history through sheer force of will. Finding the best-known works of his time about her – Voltaire’s .La pucelle d’Orléans and Shakespeare’s Henry VI, part I. – utterly dissatisfying, Schiller set out to replace them. .Die Jungfrau von Orleans. was a smashing success and inspired various subsequent treatments, including Verdi’s opera .Giovanna d’Arco. and a translation by the father of Russian Romanticism, Vasily Zhukovsky, on which Tchaikovsky based his opera .Orleanskaya deva. (.The Maid of Orleans.). In turn, the book’s final chapter examines Shaw’s .Saint Joan. and finds that the Irish playwright’s vociferous complaints about Schiller’s “romantic flapdoodle” belie a surprising affinity for Schiller’s approach. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Joan of Arc; Schiller; Euripedes; Verdi; Vasily Zhukovsky; Bernard Shaw; Saint Joan; Tchaikovsky; Shakespear | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27889-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-27891-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-27889-2Series ISSN 2634-5811 Series E-ISSN 2634-582X | | issn_series | 2634-5811 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
