Classical mythology was a favorite subject of the 16th century rhetoricians. These "fables" were adapted into sensual games in which recognizable love issues were discussed. Nine of these so-called mythological-amorous plays have been handed down, written and performed since the end of the fifteenth century. The texts make clear how the handling of classical mythology changed in the period that forms the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times. This study examines the relationship to the original texts, the dramaturgy and performance of the plays and the tradition in manuscript and print. The mythology, pagan and fictional in nature, provided space to experiment with the depiction of eroticism and emotions, while dramaturgy provided a didactic framework that met the social and ethical needs of the time. The mythological-amorous games thus contributed to the introduction, distribution and acceptance of ancient mythology in the vernacular culture and to the development of an effective love didactic.

Closely linked, theatre and rhetoric underwent a renaissance in the Latin scholar culture and the vernacular world of urbanized Europe from the fifteenth century onwards. Based on research into ideas, (literary) practices and members, Lustige geesten shows that the rhetoric chambers were the Dutch variant of an early modern culture of public eloquence, with the theatre as quintessence. Rhetoriziens expressed the intellectual and social missions of their chambers in the core concept of rhetoric, which referred to both (utopian) ideals of bourgeoisie and the application of knowledge (conste) in a committed culture. The northern Netherlands (especially Holland and Zeeland) and the southern (especially Flanders and Brabant) formed one rhetoric world of overlapping networks in which international cultural trends were incorporated locally and regionally through an active reading, conversation and discussion culture. The means of public eloquence (writing and staging drama, song, poem) were intended (internally) to shape (in a playful and competitive atmosphere) the minds of young men from wealthy families and middle classes. By organizing (externally) performances in the local party culture and at long-distance rhetorician festivals, rooms functioned as publication centres for their best writers and performers. The rhetoricians thus contributed to the emergence of a vernacular scholar culture and participated in the public debate. Lustige spirits thus shows in which ways the social, institutional and cultural elements of the rhetorician culture determined the social influence of the rhetoricians and their contribution to the emergence of the (northern) Netherlands as a European cultural centre.

Wie het kluchtenrepertoire van de zestiende-eeuwse rederijkers leest, wordt uitgenodigd om zich schilderachtige figuren in actierijke situaties voor te stellen. De kluchtenlezer is getuige van duiveluitdrijvingen, schrans- en vechtpartijen, mishandelingen, vermommingen, gegooi met etenswaren en huisraad, of taferelen waarin mensen in dierenvellen worden genaaid. Als hij zich bij deze visuele voorstellingen ook een klankbeeld voorstelt, dan hoort hij beeldrijke formuleringen, taalverhaspelingen, hyperbolische vergelijkingen, macaronische bezweringen, gewelddadige dreigementen en scheldduels vol bizar woordgebruik. Mooi vies, knap lelijk legt het artistieke principe bloot dat zich manifesteert in de buitensporige lichaamsrepresentaties en het woekerende en gespierde taalgebruik in dit theatergenre. Femke Kramer laat zien hoe deze geësthetiseerde 'lelijkheid' getuigt van een cultuur die zich in grote hevigheid aan het vernieuwen was. Het boek bevat tevens een catalogus met samenvattingen van de 77 kluchten die erin worden besproken.

"Gary Waite examines the social and religious messages of the plays presented, showing how they promoted or opposed calls for reform, religious and otherwise." "Presenting an overview of some eighty surviving scripts from across the Low Countries, Waite considers in particular the culture and drama of two distinct urban communities: Antwerp and Amsterdam. He argues that the dramatists promoted a wide range of reform perspectives, but in so doing they reshaped reform ideas to accommodate their own concerns as urban artisans and merchants. In the end, despite their desire for peace, they contributed significantly to the rise of anticlerical sentiment and reform aspirations and to increasing dissatisfaction with Habsburg rule." "Offering perspectives gleaned from primary material that is available only in sixteenth-century Dutch, this study adds significantly to existing scholarship on the local ramifications of the Reformation in the Low Countries."--Jacket.
