Der Jedermann Im 16. Jahrhundert - Die Hecastus-Dramen Von Georgius Macropedius Und Hans Sachs (German, Latin, Book)

This work presents, for the first time together, two early modern everyman plays in which the radical changes of the Reformation era are reflected- a distinctive excerpt from a history of subject matter that reaches from the late antiquity to Hofmannsthal and further to Philip Roth. The introduction, translation and commentary make the works available to a broader audience. The volume also provides insight into the conditions of literary communication in the early modern period and the correlation between New Latin and Early New High German literature.
