Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the support of many people. I first wish to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor, Peter Hess, who offered invaluable assistance, support and guidance throughout the duration of this project, and who consistently encouraged me to continue in the work. His research in the area of seventeenth-century poetry and poetics provided inspiration and insight to guide this project. Special thanks also go to the many friends who have supported me throughout the long journey of completing my dissertation, and especially to friends and colleagues at Samford University for their untiring support. I would also like to convey thanks to the University of Texas and faculty in the Department of Germanic Studies for providing the financial means to conduct research on this project in Germany in the form of an exchange to the Free University of Berlin (2000-2001) and a University Fellowship (2003-2004). Further, I would like to express my thanks to the many people and institutions in Germany who supported my research on this project, including Professor Herbert Jaumann at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University in Greifswald and the librarians in the Germanistik Institut at the University of Erlangen. Finally, I wish to express my love and gratitude to my beloved family for their constant support and love. v Women’s Writing and Writing Women in the Seventeenth Century: An Examination of the Works of Sibylle Schwarz and Susanne Elisabeth Zeidler Angela Dionne Ferguson, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: Peter Hess This dissertation is primarily concerned with women’s writing in the mid- seventeenth century, comprising the years from 1624 to 1686. It covers the period immediately following Martin Opitz’s vernacular literary reforms in Germany and takes as its primary subject the resultant increase in female authorship. It arises out of an interest in two separate but interrelated issues. The first is out of an interest in female literary production in Germany during the seventeenth century, specifically between 1624 and 1686, dates demarcated by the publication of Martin Opitz’s Buch von der deutschen Poeterey and the publication of Susanne Elisabeth Zeidler’s collection of poetry, Jungferlicher Zeitvertreiber. The second is the question of women’s self-concept within a patriarchal society and the discursive strategies of female authors struggling “against complex odds” to “com[e] to written voice” (Olsen 9). In order to fully explore this subject, I have chosen to focus on the work of two poets, Sibylle Schwarz (1621-1638) and Susanne Elisabeth Zeidler (1657-1706?). Writing at different stages in this period and from dissimilar social positions, the two poets offer contrasting strategies of self- representation and self-authorization. By negotiating the demanding terrain of female authorship in a period inhospitable to female learning in different ways, they illustrate the vi tensions faced by female poets and the various strategies for overcoming the challenges they faced. I look first at the construction of female gender in the early modern period and the ways female writers could subtly shift the prevailing ideas and definitions to include the act of writing as an acceptable component of female identity. The analysis and comparison of the works of Schwarz and Zeidler also offers a glimpse into the changes in self-awareness and self-concept of female poets across the period. vii Table of Contents List

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION IN THE LECTURE ROOMS that lined the narrow, crowded streets of the "Latin quarter" of Paris, there evolved during the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries an approach to learning that would dominate the intellectual world of northern Eu­ rope for the next three hundred years. This new method of thought, known to historians as scholasticism, held out the intoxicating possibility that, through reason and the powerful tool of Aristotelian logic, men could resolve the seeming con­ tradictions between faith and reason, Christian truth and Greek science, and attain insights into the nature of the world, of man, and of God. In these same years, as the teaching masters of Paris gained a corporate identity as the University ofParis, they formally adopted this new intellectual program as the basis oflearning and instruction. Subsequently, these Parisian methods became the model for dozens of universities founded in England, Spain, the Low Countries, and the Holy Roman Empire. As a result, scholasticism-with its veneration of Aristotle, cultivation oflogic, and enthusiasm for disputation and debate-became synonymous with northern European academic life for the remainder of the medieval era. Some two hundred years after the emergence of scholas­ ticism, another intellectual movement, known as Renaissance humanism, began to evolve in the rich and populous cities of northern Italy. Unlike the scholastics, the disciples of this new cultural movement had scant interest in Aristotelian thought, theological speculation, and sophisticated logical concepts. Spurred by a new appreciation of the classics, these Italian thinkers-in particular Petrarch (1304-1374)-warmed to the ix Introduction - Ciceronian ideal of the studia humanitatis, an approach to learn­ ing that stressed literary and moral rather than philosophical training.

The German Cantata Before Bach In Germany, Lutheran composers adapted the genre that had originated in Italy as a secular work intended for aristocratic chamber settings. Defined loosely as a work for one or more voices with independent instrumental accompaniment, usually in discrete sections, and employing the ‘theatrical’ style of opera, the Italian cantata it was originally modest in scope—usually comprising no more than a couple of recitative-aria pairs, with an accompaniment of basso continuo. By the 1700s, however, it had begun to include other instruments, and had grown to include multiple, contrasting movements. Italian composers occasionally wrote sacred cantatas, though not for liturgical use. In Germany, however, Lutheran composers adapted the genre for use in the main weekly service, where it subsumed musical elements already present: the concerted motet and the chorale.

  • 15. Identity and Irony. Martial's Tenth Book, Horace, and the Tradition of Roman Satire
    15. IDENTITY AND IRONY. MARTIAL'S TENTH BOOK, HORACE, AND THE TRADITION OF ROMAN SATIRE Elena Merli Although Martial strongly invokes the Latin epigrammatic tradition in his poetological statements-and thus in part actually constitutes this tradition-the intertextual references in his poetry point far beyond the genre of epigram. In his monograph on Martial, John Sullivan briefly discusses the role of satire and elegy in his view our poet's most important intertextual points of reference. According to Sullivan, Martial takes from satire his critical view of society and human behav­ ior, and from elegy especially the element of self-representation. Even prior to Sullivan, of course, the question of Martial's relationship to satire was posed frequently, and the answers focused on the humorous and mimic elements; on the poet's description of "types" such as the parvenu, the hypocrite and the legacy-hunter; and on his criticism of Roman society and the system of clientela. 1 To my mind, the limitation of this approach consists in the diffi­ culty of adequately defining the object "satire". Scholarship has too often abstained from seeking precise, concrete lines and tendencies of development in this genre, and done so in good conscience on the grounds of satire's intrinsic uarietas? As far as our topic is concerned, this fact has led to a kind of optical illusion: the relationship between Martial and Juvenal has moved to center stage, while Martial's much broader and more nuanced relationship to the various forms and stages of the satirical tradition has receded into the background.

  • The Ode As a Genre in the Latin Poetry of Jan Kochanowski (Lyricorum Libellus)*
    TERMINUS Vol. 20 (2018), Special Issue, pp. 1–21 doi:10.4467/20843844TE.18.009.9892 www.ejournals.eu/Terminus http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6919-9105 Elwira Buszewicz Jagiellonian University in Kraków [email protected] The Ode as a Genre in the Latin Poetry of Jan Kochanowski (Lyricorum libellus)* Abstract The aim of this study is to establish the place of Jan Kochanowski’s Lyricorum li- bellus (1580) in the history of Polish Renaissance neo-Latin ode presented against a wider European background. The development of this genre in this historico-lit- erary period in Poland has received only fragmentary reporting, e.g. in relation to Horatianism in literature or as a background for the vernacular ode. Yet, as Carol Maddison argues in her Apollo and the Nine, the Neo-Latin ode is, in a sense, a new genre revived and newly “devised” by Renaissance humanists. In her fundamental work, Maddison also presents the development of the ode and its variations in Italy and France. According to ancient patterns used by poets, Horatian odes (includ- ing Kochanowski’s odes) can be divided into the “Pindaric” and the “Anacreontic- Sapphic.” This division coincides to some extent with the classification of odes as “political” or “private.” Similar categorisation criteria adopted by various research- ers (Zofia Głombiowska, Jacqueline Glomski, Józef Budzyński) may result in indi- vidual odes being assigned to several different categories. The first part of this paper, therefore, emphasises the identity of the NeoLatin ode and its status as a new genre strongly related to Renaissance Humanism. In the second part, the author attempts to assign particular poems from Lyricorum libellus to patterns indicated by Mad- dison, and deals with previous attempts at classification based on differentiating be- tween political and private odes.
