Elf Fastnachtspiele Aus Den Jahren 1552 Und 1553 [German]

By Edmund Goetze and Hans Sachs

This volume presents eleven "Fastnachtspiele" (Shrovetide plays) written in 1552 and 1553 by Hans Sachs, a prominent German Meistersinger, poet, and playwright of the Renaissance. Edited by Edmund Goetze, this collection offers a glimpse into the popular theatrical traditions of 16th-century Germany. These short, often humorous plays were performed during Carnival celebrations and reflect the social customs, moral values, and everyday life of the time.

Sachs's "Fastnachtspiele" are known for their lively dialogue, satirical wit, and accessible language, making them an important part of German literary and cultural history. This edition provides valuable insight into the dramatic arts and festive culture of the German Renaissance.
