About the Book

English summary: In the Late Middle Ages vernacular literature became immensely important as a means of communicating religious knowledge to the unlearned and semi-learned. Whereas an elitist 'mystical' discourse dominated vernacular religious literature of the 14th century, in the 15th century adherents of the so-called theology of piety initiated a tremendous 'democratization' of religious knowledge, which can also be seen as a reaction to the strongly increasing rate of literacy among the laity and the ability to produce books more cheaply due to the increased use of paper. This new inclusion of the laity in the religious literary culture contributed in an important way to the success of the Reformation. In the articles collected here, Werner Williams examines central aspects of this development and its socio-historical prerequisites. He interprets and contextualizes important works of mystical literature, provides an extensive analysis of the immense importance of the reform movements within the orders in the 15th century for the production, reception and circulation of religious literature, and finally, focuses on the diverse forms in which the lives of the saints, the most beloved medieval narrative genre, appear in vernacular literature. German description: Wahrend im 14. Jahrhundert vor allem der elitare emystische' Diskurs die Literatur pragt, so setzen im 15. Jahrhundert Anhanger der sogenannten Frommigkeitstheologie eine gewaltige eDemokratisierung' des verschriftlichten religiosen Wissens in Gang, die auch als Reaktion auf eine stark ansteigende Alphabetisierung der Laien und die billigere Buchherstellung zu sehen ist. Dies tragt in erheblichem Masse zum spateren Erfolg der Reformation bei. Werner Williams fuhrt in den hier gesammelten Aufsatzen in zentrale Aspekte dieser Entwicklung und ihre sozialgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen ein. Er interpretiert und kontextualisiert wichtige Werke des mystischen Schrifttums und stellt die grosse Bedeutung der Reformbewegungen der Orden im 15. Jahrhundert fur die Entstehung, Rezeption und Verbreitung von geistlicher Literatur eingehend dar. Schliesslich werden diverse Ausformungen der beliebtesten narrativen Gattung des Mittelalters, der Heiligenlegende, analysiert.
