"This is my body broken for thee". Early modern sacralization of literature, the case of Vondel's 'Altaergeheimenissen' and Huygens' 'Avondmaalsgedichten'
This project aims to trace the intrusion of concepts of the sacral within early modern poetics as it relates to the development of growing autonomy within the literary system. It will do so by means of an analysis of the intricate poetics of two instances of devotional poetry, namely: Joost van den Vondel’s Altaergeheimenissen and Constantijn Huygens’ Avondmaalsgedichten.
