Epic Heroism in the Early Modern Period: Heroizations of Emperor Maximilian I in Latin Epic Poetry (D03*)

这个项目将从几个角度研究马克西米利安一世(1459-1519年)皇帝时期写的重要的拉丁史诗：作为当代宣传战的一部分，作为统治者英雄化(和妖魔化)的典范，以及一直到21世纪用来风格化英雄的叙事技巧。除了这一核心主题之外，较小的研究将涉及马西米兰领导下的史诗的后期接受，一个研讨会将集中讨论马西米兰在他那个时代的文学和艺术中的普遍英雄化。

This project will study the significant Latin epic poetry written under Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519) from several angles: as part of a contemporary propaganda war, as a model for the heroization (and demonization) of a ruler, and with regard to narrative techniques used to stylize heroes all the way up to the 21st century. In addition to this core topic, smaller studies will deal with the later reception of epic poetry under Maximilian and a workshop will focus on the general heroization of Maximilian in the literature and art of his time.
