Hrotsvitha von Gandersheim (Book order)

Hrotsvitha von Gandersheim Book order

Hrotsvit is considered one of the first individuals since antiquity to compose drama in the Latin West. Her works, written in Latin, demonstrate a profound familiarity with both Church Fathers and classical poets like Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. She explored themes drawn from apocryphal gospels, and her writings form part of the Ottonian Renaissance. Her name, meaning 'strong voice' in Old Saxon, aptly reflects her significant literary impact and distinctive style.
