Norm und Poesie : Zur expliziten und impliziten Poetik in der lateinischen Literatur der Frühen Neuzeit 4. Arbeitsgespräch der Deutschen Neulateinischen Gesellschaft (Frühe Neuzeit 178) (2013. VIII, 302 S. 16 b/w ill. 230 mm)

This collected volume was motivated by the lack of scholarly attention previously devoted to the abundance of poetics from the Early Modern period that, from the 15th century onward, drew on ancient traditions. These poetics were primarily published in Latin. The authors analyze explicit normative poetics, major tractates about poetology, and common schoolbooks, yet also examine indirect poetological reflections contained in poems, reflections that may be described as implicit poetics. Thus, the volume as a whole provides a multifaceted view of the dynamic interplay between these two forms of poetics.
