Gerhard Wolf : Von Der Chronik Zum Weltbuch: Sinn Und Anspruch Sudwestdeutscher Hauschroniken Am Ausgang Des Mittelalters (Quellen Und Forschungen Zur Literatur- Und Kulturgeschichte) (German Edition)
Product Description
In order to combine their facts and make sense of them, writers of history in the 16th century made use of literary genres and represented strategies. Using four chronicles, Professor Wolf examines the function of a literarization of history, together with the political and dynastic interests involved and the authors' understanding of truth and their attempts to interpret the world.
