Instead of appealing to theory-formation and abstract
classification, this study consciously uses close text analysis to
examine secular German baroque poetry from a specifically
problem-oriented viewpoint. Sensuality as a problem: the literature
of antiquity agonized over the impact of eros in a way that was
hardly any less soul-searching than that of later Christianity.
Authors like Opitz, Fleming, Zesen, Stieler, and above all
Hoffmannswaldau take their bearings from this tradition, essaying
in their erotic texts a discourse on sensuality that goes beyond
the musa iocosa to adumbrate positions represented in the early
Enlightenment.
