About this film
LibriVox recording of History of the Thirty Years War, Volume 2 by Friedrich Schiller. Translated by Rev. A. J. W. Morrison. Read in English by Alan Winterrowd The History of the Thirty Years War is a five volume work, which followed his very successful History of the Revolt of the Netherlands . Written for a wider audience than Revolt, it is a vivid history, colored by Schiller’s own interest in the question of human freedom and his rationalist optimism. Volume 2 covers late 1620 through the aftermath of the Battle of Leipzig (now known as the First Battle of Breitenfeld), in 1631. (Summary by Alan Winterrowd) For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
