Embodied wits – The representation of deliberative thought in rhetoricians’ drama
One of the reasons for the enduring popularity of rhetoricians’ theatre was the efficacy of the spel van sinne , the Netherlandish version of the morality play, as a means of knowledge acquisition and transmission. This essay demonstrates how the rhetorical process of knowledge creation was literally bodied forth by personifications.

The relevance of the Netherlandish rhetoricians

Dutch Allegorical Theatre
This collection of essays by international scholars focuses on the vernacular urban culture of the Chambers of Rhetoric in the Low Countries of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Reflecting social, religious, and economic realities at a time of fundamental change, the Rhetoricians’ plays also reveal a range of poetic and theatrical conventions that make them an important source of information both on practical stagecraft and on the role of th…
