Abstract:
Currently the focus within the study of war literature lies on experience. In contrast to this, Sibylla Schwarz’s “In Praise of Sensible and Virtuous Women” accentuates the interplay between poetical and historical discourses: in her translation of Heinsius, she adapts the speech of a Spartan woman in the mode of parenetical poetry. Read symptomatically, Schwarz’s approach highlights the generic conditions under which war poetry is produced. Simultaneously, it indicates the ambivalent status the genre achieves due to historical circumstances.
