Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German playwright, poet, and philosopher. Some synonyms for his name could include "Schiller," "Friedrich Schiller," or "J.C.F. von Schiller." He is best known for his dramatic works, including "Don Carlos," "William Tell," and "Mary Stuart." Schiller was also a member of the Weimar Classicism literary movement, which emphasized rationality, clarity, and simplicity. He was a contemporary and friend of another German literary giant, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Schiller's legacy lives on as his works continue to be studied and adapted for modern audiences.
