Théâtre de Hrotsvitha : religieuse allemande du dixième siècle, traduit pour la première fois en français avec le texte latin revu sur le manuscrit de Munich
Résumé
"Théâtre de Hrotsvitha" by Hrotsvitha is a collection of medieval drama written in the 10th century. The work showcases a series of plays by Hrotsvitha, a German nun, introducing themes of chastity, faith, and the strength of women in confronting male adversities. This collection stands out as a vital piece of women's contributions to literature during an era generally deemed lacking in artistic expression. At the start of this work, the introduction highlights the uniqueness of Hrotsvitha's plays, asserting their significance in a time typically associated with a decline in theatrical representation. The introduction discusses the cultural context of the 10th century, particularly the abbey of Gandersheim, where Hrotsvitha likely composed her plays in a highly literate environment, contrary to the common perception of the Middle Ages as a dark age for the arts. This section also hints at the themes found within the plays, such as the triumph of female virtue over male brutality, preparing the reader for the rich narratives and character developments that follow in the subsequent plays of the collection.
