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. 410 0$aStudies in medieval and Reformation traditions$v167. 606 $aLow German language$yTo 1500$xSocial aspects 606 $aDidactic literature, German$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMetaphor in literature 615 0$aLow German language$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDidactic literature, German$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMetaphor in literature. 676 $a439/.4 700 $aHess$b Cordelia$01502083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779888503321 996 $aSocial imagery in Middle Low German$93729598 997 $aUNINA
