From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Foreword: EARLY GERMAN COMEDIES are best studied in the context of their creation and production. The apparently remote issues that motivated an author to create the literary statement bear clarification for the twentiethcentury reader. The expectations the author fulfilled in producing the comedy for a particular audience require definition. The enunciation of these issues and expectations is the intent of my studies on early German comedies (1500-1650). The writer of early dramatic comedy in German-speaking lands was confronted by issues of singular importance. The period in question was one of transition. The certainty offered by a monolithic, late-medieval Roman church was supplanted by a differentiated set of beliefs. The institutionalization of Lutheran Protestantism did not go unchallenged on political and theological fronts. The Treaty of Westphalia (1648) brought both the Thirty Years War and the Reformation to an end. From the early manifestations of discontent on the eve of the Reformation to the greater stability established by the return of peace, writers were confronted by varying degrees of disorder. Cultural events in the early modern period need to be interpreted in terms of the varieties of anarchy. The works of comedy typically depicted the confrontation between foolish disorder and values basic to an ordered societal behavior. - Contents: Foreword -- A Bibliographical Introduction to Early German Comedies -- 1.
