These texts opposed the twin phenomena of pluralization and secularization, which promoted a Humanist tolerance for ambiguity, boosted globalization and spatial expansion around 1500, and promoted new ways of imagining the world. Part I considers threats to the political order and the protestations against them, above all a vigorous defense of the common good. Part II traces the intellectual and epistemological upheaval triggered by the spatial discoveries and the new methods of visual and verbal representation of space. Part III examines the nationalistic backlash triggered by the rising global trade and related abusive trading practices and by perceived undue foreign influences. It is the basic premise of this book that the texts examined here protested the observed disruptions of the status quo and sought to reestablish a stable imperial order in the face of political and social upheaval and of the felt cultural decline of the German nation. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-383) and index. 650 0 $a German literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Nationalism in literature. 650 0 $a Globalization in literature. 650 7 $a German literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710974 650 7 $a Globalization in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903361 650 7 $a Nationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033899 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2544B20CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
