Section 001 – Marriage and Married Life in Germany in the Late
Middle Ages and in the Renaissance. No German required. Marriage
is one of the most central institutions in human societies. Contrary
to previous generations, however, today we are beginning to look
upon marriage as an institution subject to historic change. In the union of husband and wife gender relations are defined, reenacted
and, at the same time, constantly reconstructed. But how was the
female sphere defined in the fifteenth century? Did the Reformation
affect society's understanding of matrimony? What was married
life like in a world where two out of four children were likely
to die? Where, and when, do we encounter love-matches? We will
explore marriage discourse and policies in a culturally well-defined
context, the German-speaking countries between ca. 1350 and 1600.
By examining the depiction of marriage in major literature of the age as well as in historiography we will come to a more complex
understanding of what marriage was supposed to be and what it
really meant. Cost:2 WL:1 (Puff)
