At the second meeting of the Early Modern Southwest, this time entitled “Literature and the Thirty Years' War”, two individual projects from the SPP network are discussed: Dr Astrid Dröse presents her individual project “Song Culture of the 17th Century as a Culture of Translation” and Prof Dr Dirk Werle outlines new research on historical narratology and thus contours the individual project “Johann Michael Moscherosch. Translating - Knowing - Narrating”.
