The Poetic Works of Helius Eobanus Hessus - Volume 4: Between Erasmus and Luther, 1518-1524

Volume 4 traces Eobanus Hessus' career from 1518 to 1524, as he develops from an idolizer of Erasmus into a staunch defender of Luther and finally into an Erasmian Lutheran holding his ground in the no-man's-land between the two titans.
