Grimmelshausen
Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen hat mit seinen satirisch-kritischen und zugleich unterhaltsamen Romanen und Traktaten die beiden großen Diskurse der Frühen Neuzeit, Politik und Religion, begleitet, so wach und an eigener Erfahrung orientiert wie kein anderer deutscher Barockdichter. Er ist zu Antworten gelangt, die uns in ihrer Menschenfreundlichkeit über die Jahrhunderte hinweg immer noch berühren und ermutigen können. Dieter Breuer stellt hier vor, was er für den "Kern" von Grimmelshausens Werken hält: positives Geschichtsdenken, gerechte Staatsordnung, Ächtung des Krieges und Friedenspolitik, Aufklärung über Vorurteile gegenüber Minderheiten, insbesondere den Juden, soziales Engagement statt Resignation, Widerstand gegen unverantwortliche politische Entscheidungen, überkonfessionelles Christentum, Bekehrung als didaktisch nicht planbare innere Glaubenserfahrung, Tolerierung andersartiger Lebensentwürfe, Überwindung religiöser Intoleranz, Willensfreiheit und Vorsehung.

A Companion to the Works of Grimmelshausen
Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen (ca. 1621-1676) is the most significant (and still readable) author of seventeenth-century German novels. His Abenteuerlicher Simplicius Simplicissimus remains the one German novel of its time that has attained the stature of "world literature": its unique mix of violent action and solitary reflection, its superlative humor, its realistic portrayal of a peasant turned soldier turned hermit has made it the longest-running bestseller in German literature. Read by students and scholars in comparative literature, history, and German, and by those interested in the development of the picaresque novel in Europe, the work and its "Continuations" have increa...
Orthodoxy and Reform
More than one hundred years after the introduction of the Reformation, the clergy in Rostock set out to reform the spiritual and moral life of the city and fashion it into a new Zion. Disappointed with the results of the Lutheran Reformation, their reform efforts were less concerned with confessional purity than with the practice of Christian piety. The resulting reform movement in Rostock became one of the most vigorous in 17th century Germany.Jonathan Strom examines the consequences of the Reformation, the clergy's social and economic status, the career path of a typical pastor, and the theological basis of the office of ministry. He recounts the practical reforms sought by the clergy in R...
Wondrous in His Saints
At the close of the sixteenth century, despite Protestant attempts to discourage popular devotion to saints and shrines, the Roman Church in Bavaria initiated a propagandistic campaign through the publishing of pilgrimage books and pamphlets. Philip Soergel's cogent exploration of this little-known pilgrimage literature yields a vivid portrait of religion before, during, and after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. These "advertisements," combining testimonies of miracles with fantastic legends about shrines, fueled the conflict between Catholics and Protestants and helped shape a distinctive Catholic historical consciousness. Soergel stresses the power of the printed word as a defense...
Tracing Paradigms: One Hundred Years of Neophilologus
This volume brings together a selection of pivotal articles published in the hundred years since the launch of the journal Neophilologus. Each article is accompanied by an up-to-date commentary written by former and current editors of the journal. The commentaries position the articles within the history of the journal in particular and within the field of Modern Language Studies in general. As such, this book not only outlines the history of a scholarly journal, but also the history of an entire field. Over the course of its first one hundred years, 1916 to 2016, Neophilologus: An International Journal of Modern and Mediaeval Language and Literature has developed from a modest quarterly set up by a group of young and ambitious Dutch professors as a platform for their own publications to one of the leading international journals in Modern Language Studies. Although Neophilologus has remained broad in scope, multilingual and multidisciplinary, it has witnessed dramatic changes in its long-standing history: paradigm shifts, the rise and fall of literary theories, methods and sub-disciplines, as has the field of Modern Language Studies itself.
