His eight-volume Frauenzimmer Gespr�chspiele is widely acclaimed for its progressive attitudes concerning social interaction of the genders. Literary genres of various kinds?drama, poetry, novellas, opera, emblems, conversations, aphorisms, pastoral eclogues, to name just a few?are investigated in their cultural context of literary societies, peace proceedings, the querelle de femmes, autograph albums, printing and publishing, book history and collecting, festival performances, and science and technology. This course presents an ideal opportunity for students wishing to explore early modern German (and Latin) literature and the other arts: for example, music, book illustrations, and printing. The course will draw on the works of all N�rnberg poets of the tie with a special focus on Harsd�rffer. Guiding all study will be the theme of gender and genre.
