The Literature of the Early Modern Period in Germany 1520-1620 is a dictionary of authors that explores the literary landscape during the period between the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years War, with over 500 articles and several indexes. It presents complex literary legacies by bringing together previously scattered specialized research in conformity with modern research standards. Since the Dictionary of Authors 'The Early Modern Era in Germany 1520-1620' is part of the Verfasserdatenbank (Database of Authors), single issues are not available as e-books.
