• Dr. Richard P. Feynman—a site with lots of links maintained by Bill Beaty.
• Hey, Feynman!—a delightfully whimsical Feynman site.

Sites on Friedrich Schiller

• “Friedrich Schiller”—the Wikipedia article on Friedrich Schiller. Not to be relied upon for the Letters, but a reasonably good overview of Schiller’s life and work.
• “Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805)”—the biographical note at The Authors’ Calendar.
• “Say It Loud—It’s Schiller and It’s Proud”—a shortened version of an address delivered by George Steiner on 23 April, 2005 at the opening of the exhibition on Schiller’s life and work in Marbach, German. It was originally published in German in Die Zeit on 28 April, 2005. Courtesy of signandsight.com. German version at Die Zeit.
• A Friedrich Schiller page in the Librarie at Another Form of Intervention—an attractive and interesting site, indeed a beautiful site with which it’s a delight to play.
• Much of Schiller’s corpus in English (with a little also in German) at the Gutenberg Project—a great resource. Includes another translation of the Letters.
• Schiller’s Letters (»Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen, in einer Reihe von Briefen«) in German at the German-language Gutenberg Project—another great resource.

Sites on Johan Huizinga

• “Johan Huizinga”—the Wikipedia article on Huizinga.
• “Johan Huizinga (1872-1945)”—the biographical note at The Authors’ Calendar.
• “Homo Ludens: Versuch einer Bestimmung des Spiel[el]ements der Kultur.” Jan Huizinga. Review author: Eric Voegelin. The Journal of Politics, Vol. 10, No. 1. (Feb., 1948), pp. 179-187—a rather nice review of Homo Ludens published in the States just four years after the German edition was published in Switzerland in 1944.
• “Homo Ludens Revisited.” Jacques Ehrmann; Cathy Lewis; Phil Lewis. Yale French Studies, No. 41, Game, Play, Literature. (1968), pp. 31-57—an attempt to show, “through a critique, first of the play-reality relationship, then of the play-culture relationship, as seen in Huizinga, Caillois, and the linguist Benveniste,” that instead of its being the case that “[t]he problem of play is...linked to the problem of ‘reality,’ itself linked to the problem of culture[,] [it] is one and the same problem.”
