| Abstract | Even though the performativity of both lyric poetry and verse epic has attracted much attention in the last decades, epic, lyric, and dramatic literature still tends to be regarded separately, not respecting whether the texts might have been performed in the same area and with an overlapping audience. The papers in this session enquire in possible correlations and cross-references between religious lyric and religious drama, especially focussing on Marian literature. Paper -a relates Marian Laments in German, Latin, and Czech language to various forms of Marian literature in prose, poetry, and drama in 14th-century Bohemia, which could serve as a support to orthodoxy, or channel subversive undercurrents. |
