By the end of this course you should have:
- Acquired an understanding of German history and culture
- Developed an ability to read and analyse fictional texts
- Developed an ability to understand social, historical and political factors that have influenced the German culture

The Neidhart Plays are secular medieval plays which emerged from imitations of the farces by the thirteenth-century poet Neidhart von Reuental (especially the Violet Farce) and were mostly performed during Shrovetide. The course will analyse the sociological relevance of the St. Paul Neidhart Play as the oldest secular German play, of the Great Neidhardspiel play as the most comprehensive medieval comic play, of the Tirolean Neidhard Play and of the Lesser Neidhart Play of Nurnberg.
At the beginning of the course you must have this book:
Ser Neidhart e la beffa della violetta. Drammi tedeschi medievali, scelti, tradotti e commentati da R. De Pol. Con una postfazione di J. Margetts, Vignate, Virtuosa-Mente, 2015
Other readings will be made available on the webcourse
