These case studies from early modern literature? mainly German? are dealing with larger-scale narrative forms of the novel/romance and chronicle variety and with farcical tales. They enquire into how in the 16th century as a time of profound change in society, religion and media Germanophone literature is involved in the processes of pluralisation and authorisation of knowledge, and how the manifold changes in knowledge are reflected in literature.
