Translated by Theodore, Sir Martin

Wilhelm Tell is a historical drama by Friedrich Schiller, first published in 1805. Set in 14th century Switzerland, it follows the legendary marksman Wilhelm Tell as he embodies the struggle for freedom against oppressive rule, particularly against the Austrian governor Hermann Gessler. The play explores themes of tyranny, resistance, and the quest for independence, drawing from the Swiss liberation movement. This English translation by William F. Mainland highlights the tragi-comic elements and formal unity of Schiller's work, which remains influential in discussions of political unrest and heroism.
