Der siegreiche Apoll und die geschlagenen Wurschkayten: Regionaler Klassizismus im altpreußischen Hohenzollernstaat in der Perspektive einer deutschen ,Nationalkultur‘

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the drama Sorbuisa (1644) by Simon Dach, which deals with conflicts specific for the region related to education, science and religion, the present article makes an attempt to provide answer for the question about the relationship between literature and power. Especially useful for the conducted studies has been the diachronic model. It enables one to highlight the condition of constant tension between the western and autochthonic (conditioned by multiethnic and multiconfessional character of the region of „Prussia“) cultural influence. From the point of view of philology, we are dealing here with a puristic stylistic program (classicism), which, as a tool of power, is faced with local ‚obscurantism‘ and a forced individual or mystic linguistic proposal.
