Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 1996 by the University of California Press, this scholarly work serves as a meticulous study of the Fastnachtspiele, or Shrovetide plays, performed in Nuremberg during the fifteenth century. James Robert Erb, a specialist in German literature and performance history, wrote this volume to analyze the intersection of legalistic ritual and theatrical performance within the context of late medieval urban culture.

The book is widely regarded for its careful reconstruction of the performance practices associated with these plays, particularly how they were situated within the civic and social frameworks of Nuremberg. Rather than viewing the plays solely as literary texts, Erb emphasizes the physical environment and the performative nature of the 'Bar' as a stage, offering a technical and historical examination that remains a foundational resource for scholars of early modern German theater and social history.
