Queenship and Counsel in Early Modern Europe
The discourse of political counsel in early modern Europe depended on the participation of men, as both counsellors and counselled. Women were often thought too irrational or imprudent to give or receive political advice—but they did in unprecedented numbers, as this volume shows. These essays trace the relationship between queenship and counsel through over three hundred years of history. Case studies span Europe, from Sweden and Poland-Lithuania via the Habsburg territories to England and France, and feature queens regnant, consort and regent, including Elizabeth I of England, Catherine Jagiellon of Sweden, Catherine de’ Medici and Anna of Denmark. They draw on a variety of innovative sources to recover evidence of queenly counsel, from treatises and letters to poetry, masques and architecture. For scholars of history, politics and literature in early modern Europe, this book enriches our understanding of royal women as political actors.
The Reformation of Feeling
Susan Karant-Nunn argues that the 16th-century Reformation movement sought not only to modify people's doctrinal convictions and their behavior but to root these changes in altered sentiment.
Sonnets of Catharina von Greiffenberg
This study presents interpretation and criticism of Catharina von Greiffenberg’s Geistliche Sonnette (1662) with contrastive discussions of the process and structure of Gryphius' sonnets. The author uses an eclectic method to explore the sonnets as viable poetic constructs. She arrives at new conclusions on the nature of the two poets' gifts and on the peculiarities and possibilities of the sonnet as a short lyric form.
Books and Prints at the Heart of the Catholic Reformation in the Low Countries (16th–17th Centuries)
Often considered the advent of mass media, the use of books and prints by Protestants has been widely studied and has generated a rich and plentiful bibliography. In contrast, the production and use of the same media by the proponents of the Counter-Reformation have not received the attention they deserve, especially in the context of the Low Countries. The twelve chapters in this volume provide new perspectives on the efficacy of the handpress book industry to support the Catholic strategy in the Spanish Low Countries and underline the mutually beneficial relationship between the Counter-Reformation and the typographic world. This volume represents an important contribution to our understanding of the sociocultural and socioeconomic background of the Catholic Netherlands.

Lässt sich im Kreuzgedicht "Über den gekreuzigten Jesus" von Catharina Regina von Greiffenberg ein religiöser Mehrwert eruieren?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Ältere Deutsche Literatur, Mediävistik, Note: 2,3, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bereits beim Lesen meines Titels könnte die Frage aufkommen, warum ich mich gerade auf das Kreuzgedicht einer häufig übergangenen Dichterin des Barocks beziehe. Zur Erklärung meiner Wahl möchte ich mich auf Peter Maurice Daly berufen, der die Dichterin wie folgt charakterisiert: „Was die «meist übersehene» Dichterin anbelangt, so hat sie dieses Schicksal nicht verdient, denn sie darf wohl als vorbildliche Repräsentantin des hochbarocken Geistes gelten.“ Aus diesem Grund beschäftigt sich die nachfolgende Hausarbeit im Besonderen mit der ...
