| Résumé : |
This volume provides a much-needed interdisciplinary overview of the transitional 15th and 16th centuries, which are foundational to modern times. It skillfully blends historical context with literary analysis, featuring prominent figures such as Luther, Erasmus, Charles IV, Ulrich von Hutten, Nicholas of Cusa, and Copernicus, while also addressing lesser-known individuals.
The book comprises fourteen original essays by established and emerging scholars from leading universities, covering a range of topics including: The initial influences of the Italian Renaissance Erasmus's cosmopolitan Christian humanism Luther's role as a Renaissance writer The intersection of humanism and popular culture Antihumanism and reform movements The fictitious correspondence known as the Letters of Obscure Men Additionally, it analyzes significant literary works like The Plowman from Bohemia, The Praise of Folly, and The History of Dr. Johann Faustus. Drawing on modern research, this well-structured volume serves as a valuable introduction to a previously overlooked period in German history and literature. (Traduit avec ChatGPT) |
