About this book

Petrarch’s revival of the ancient practice of laureation in 1341 led to the laurel being conferred on poets throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Within the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I conferred the title of Imperial Poet Laureate especially frequently, and later it was bestowed with unbridled liberality by Counts Palatine and university rectors too. This handbook identifies more than 1300 poets laureated within the Empire and adjacent territories between 1355 and 1804, giving (wherever possible) a sketch of their lives, a list of their published works, and a note of relevant scholarly literature. The introduction and various indexes provide a detailed account of a now largely forgotten but once significant literary-sociological phenomenon and illuminate literary networks in the Early Modern period.

A supplementary Volume 5 of Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire. A Bio-bibliographical Handbook will be published in June 2019.

Reviews

"Entstanden ist ein Handbuch, das keinen Wunsch offen lässt, das künftiger Literaturgeschichte, Geschichte der Gelehrsamkeit, Personengeschichte und Universitätsgeschichte im internationalen, transdisziplinären und sozialgeschichtlichen Rahmen zum unentbehrlichen Handwerkszeug werden wird, werden muss."
Dieter Wuttke in: Aus dem Antiquariat 6/2008

"Dafür schuldet die Frühneuzeit-Forschung dem Verfasser Dank und Anerkennung!"
Ewa Pietrzak in: Archiv für Kulturgeschichte 1/2008

"[...] ein unerlässliches Quellen-Buch für viele verschiedene Fachrichtungen, das in keiner Bibliothek fehlen sollte."
Veronika Marschall in: IASLonline 5/2007

"Floods Handbuch, eine eindrucksvolle Forschungsleistung, ist über den im Vorwort geäußerten Anspruch hinaus nicht allein geeignet, wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zu den Dichterkrönungen und den gekrönten Literaten anzustoßen und zu erleichetern, es wird sich darüber hinaus generell als Standardlexikon frühneuzeitlicher Dichter etablieren."
Thomas Rahn in: Zeitschrift für Germanistik 2/2007
