| Zusammenfassung: | "The Rich Man and Lazarus," one of Jesus' best known parables, has been the subject of discussion and interpretation from the Church Fathers to the present day. Ten plays written in German during the sixteenth century dramatize this parable. Despite the fact that the parable and these plays are concerned with wealth and poverty, damnation and salvation - ideas that are at the very center of the social turmoil and theological struggles of the Reformation - the plays are virtually unknown, in part because six of the ten have not been reprinted or edited since they appeared between 1550 and 1579 In this book, the plays are studied within the contexts of Reformation social and religious history. They cannot be adequately understood unless heard as voices in a complex public discourse, because the Reformation knew no doctrine of "art for the sake of art," and the theater, as public spectacle, was preeminent among literary genres in the articulation and influencing of public opinion. Plays were often written to present the views of a particular community, one of which might be defined geographically, doctrinally, politically, or through a combination of such parameters. The ten plays studied in this book deal with wealth and poverty, personal luxury and severe deprivation, gluttony and drunkenness and starvation, phenomena which were obvious throughout German society, but they always treat these problems in terms of the immediate interests of their communities Thus the early play from Catholic Tyrol, where grievances of the underclasses culminated in the uprising of 1525 led by Michael Gaismair, focuses on the feudal pyramid whose apex is the parable's Rich Man and whose broad base is the peasantry. The play written by Jakob Funckelin in 1551 for the Swiss town of Biel cautiously negotiates the issues, just as Biel cautiously followed its own interests as it tried to get along with powerful neighbors, Protestant Bern and Catholic Basel. The Magdeburg preacher and schoolmaster Georg Rollenhagen interpreted the play in 1590 to express the Lutheran orthodoxy's sense of final triumph in its long struggle with the Roman Church and with schismatics in its own ranks. This study of unfamiliar dramas makes no claim to the discovery of unappreciated masterpieces. Although the esthetic merit of the plays as a group is modest, careful reading does reveal intelligence and creativity where it has not been perceived until now |

Despite the fact that the parable and these plays are concerned with wealth and poverty, damnation and salvation - ideas that are at the very center of the social turmoil and theological struggles of the Reformation - the plays are virtually unknown, in part because six of the ten have not been reprinted or edited since they appeared between 1550 and 1579 In this book, the plays are studied within the contexts of Reformation social and religious history. They cannot be adequately understood unless heard as voices in a complex public discourse, because the Reformation knew no doctrine of "art for the sake of art," and the theater, as public spectacle, was preeminent among literary genres in the articulation and influencing of public opinion. Plays were often written to present the views of a particular community, one of which might be defined geographically, doctrinally, politically, or through a combination of such parameters. The ten plays studied in this book deal with wealth and poverty, personal luxury and severe deprivation, gluttony and drunkenness and starvation, phenomena which were obvious throughout German society, but they always treat these problems in terms of the immediate interests of their communities Thus the early play from Catholic Tyrol, where grievances of the underclasses culminated in the uprising of 1525 led by Michael Gaismair, focuses on the feudal pyramid whose apex is the parable's Rich Man and whose broad base is the peasantry. The play written by Jakob Funckelin in 1551 for the Swiss town of Biel cautiously negotiates the issues, just as Biel cautiously followed its own interests as it tried to get along with powerful neighbors, Protestant Bern and Catholic Basel. The Magdeburg preacher and schoolmaster Georg Rollenhagen interpreted the play in 1590 to express the Lutheran orthodoxy's sense of final triumph in its long struggle with the Roman Church and with schismatics in its own ranks. This study of unfamiliar dramas makes no claim to the discovery of unappreciated masterpieces. Although the esthetic merit of the plays as a group is modest, careful reading does reveal intelligence and creativity where it has not been perceived until now Reicher Mann und armer Lazarus (DE-588)4216595-7 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1525-1600 gnd rswk-swf De rijke man en arme Lazarus gtt Duits gtt Littérature et société - Allemagne - Histoire ram Reformatie gtt Réforme - Allemagne ram Théâtre (genre littéraire) allemand - 1500-1700 (moderne) - Histoire et critique ram Théâtre - Allemagne - Histoire ram Toneelstukken gtt Deutsch Drama Geschichte Reformation German drama Early modern, 1500-1700 History and criticism Literature and society Germany History Reformation Germany Rich man and Lazarus (Parable) Drama History and criticism Theater Germany History Reformation (DE-588)4048946-2 gnd rswk-swf Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 s Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Reicher Mann und armer Lazarus (DE-588)4216595-7 u Geschichte 1525-1600 z DE-604 Reformation (DE-588)4048946-2 s HEBIS Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=007687572&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
