Summary:

In this volume, Eobanus Hessus turns from passionate Erasmian into staunch defender of Luther, only to find himself caught in the no-man’s-land between the two titans. Under Erasmus’ spell, he writes \'Itinerary of My Journey to Erasmus,\' \'On the Restoration of Studies at Erfurt,\' epigrams against Edward Lee, and \'Short Preface to the 'Enchiridion.'\' Changing course in 1521, he publishes \'Elegies in Praise and Defense of Luther\' and \'Letter of the Afflicted Church to Luther.\' Thereafter, amid tumults and academic collapse, he battles the radical preachers in \'Some Letters of Illustrious Men Concerning the More Humane Studies\' and \'Three Dialogues.\' Two elegies serve as intermezzos: a \'Consolation\' to the imprisoned William of Brunswick and a patriotic \'Invective\' against Johannes Dantiscus.
