Classen proves this to be a misconception, presenting here a selection of secular love songs and religious hymns composed by fifteenth- and sixteenth-century German women poets, translated for the first time. Many seem to have left their works anonymously, or hid their names using acrostics; in these and other cases, Classen has identified a considerable corpus of writing which now fills the gap previously supposed to exist in the history of medieval and early-modern German women's poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dr Albrecht Classen is University DistinguishedProfessor and Undergraduate Advisor in the Department of German Studies, University of Arizona","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45413268619415,"sku":"9781843842965","price":2386.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781843842965.webp?v=1767444623","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/late-medieval-german-womens-poetry-secular-and-religious-songs-9781843842965","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
