Melchior Hoffman's work has, so far, almost solely been investigated by historians of religion and thus focused merely on religious topics and argumentation, and rather seldomley on the literary aspects of his pamphlets - such as rhetorics, argumentation strategies and text compilation. In order to close this gap of research on Melchior Hoffman and - in the sense of a New Historicism approach - give him as a non-canonical author more attention, this book focuses on the literary qualities of the texts.

Thus, the book delivers new perspectives within the field of Reformation pamphlet writers. Theoretical significance is an integral part of the study, with a focus on developing a new theoretical concept for analysing polemic texts. The innovative approach combines post-modern theories like (constructivist) Cultural Studies, and Performativity concepts with Communication Analyses and Classical |
