None of these actually dominates within the vast genre of lay didactical literature. This book comprises the first systematic investigation of social imagery from a specific late medieval linguistic context. It methodically catalogues images of the social that were used in a particular cultural/literary sphere, and it separates late medieval efforts at catechization in print from the social and religious ruptures that are conventionally thought to have occurred after 1517. The investigation thus compliments recent scholarship on late medieval vernacular literature in Germany, most of which has concentrated on southern urban centres of production. The author fills a major lacuna in this field by concentrating for the first time on the entire extant corpus of vernacular print production in the northern region dominated by the Hanseatic cities and the Middle Low German dialect.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions167.Low German languageTo 1500Social aspectsDidactic literature, GermanHistory and criticismMetaphor in literatureLow German languageSocial aspects.Didactic literature, GermanHistory and criticism.Metaphor in literature.439/.4Hess Cordelia1502083MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779888503321Social imagery in Middle Low German3729598UNINA
