Citation
Description High-medieval Bohemian literature was not always recepted by its original audiences in the form of a written text as is usual for literature today. Rather the contrary, very often the texts were percepted in form of a performance: either (semi-)loud reading for smaller or larger group of audience, singing, more or less theatricalized performative event, or even a private performance without any obvious audience at all. The individual modes of reception of medieval literary texts are presented in the book via the case study of Bohemian Marian Plancts, a genre representing the salvific death of Christ in a moving, yet provocative way – through the eyes of his own mother, Virgin Mary.
