The Poetics of Things Past / Gedichtete Geschichtsdinge - Transmission of Knowledge in Verse from Antiquity to Early Modern Times

Material objects of the past and pre-modern poetry: Together they convey innovative forms of knowledge transmission, even though both are highly contested topics in the history of knowledge. The epistemic status of poetry has been the subject of explicit and implicit controversy since antiquity, with views ranging between the extremes of omniscience and ignorance. In this volume, poetic things across cultures, languages and periods are grouped according to their practical functions as artistic, sacred, antiquarian and martial. For the first time, they are seen as pieces of a mosaic leading to a poetics of knowing things - beyond didactic poetry.With contributions byFrederic Clark | Stefan Feddern | Thomas Haye | Claas Lattmann | Virginie Leroux | Ramun Markeviciut | Marianne Pade | Giulia Perucchi | Patryk Michal Ryczkowski | Claudia Schindler | Jochen Schultheiß | Andreas Schwab | Maren Elisabeth Schwab | Luigi Silvano | Claudia Wiener | Sebastian Winkelstraeter | Hartmut Wulfram
