Brant, Sebastian

born 1458?, Strassburg
died May 10, 1521, Strassburg

German poet.

He taught law and later was appointed imperial councillor and court palatine by Maximilian I. His varied writings include works on law, religion, politics, and especially morals. His best-known work is The Ship of Fools (1494), an allegory telling of fools on a ship bound for a "fool's paradise." The most famous German literary work of the 15th century, it ridicules the vices of the age and gave rise to a whole school of fool's literature.

▪ German poet
Brant also spelled  Brandt 
born 1457, Strassburg [now Strasbourg, France]
died May 10, 1521, Strassburg
 satirical poet best known for his Das Narrenschiff (1494; The Ship of Fools), the most popular German literary work of the 15th century.

      Brant studied in Basel, where he received his B.A. in 1477 and doctor of laws in 1489; he taught in the law faculty there from 1484 to 1500. In 1500, when Basel joined the Swiss Confederation (1499), he returned to Strassburg, where in 1503 he was made municipal secretary. Maximilian I appointed him imperial councillor and count palatine.

      Brant's writings are varied: legal; religious; political (in support of Maximilian, against the French and Turks); and, especially, moral (adaptations of the aphorisms of Cato (Cato, Publius Valerius), Faceto, and Freidank). His chief work, however, is Das Narrenschiff, an allegory telling of a ship laden with fools and steered by fools setting sail for Narragonia, the “fool's paradise.” The ship allegory is not sustained; instead Brant presents more than 100 fools representing every contemporary shortcoming, serious and trivial. Criminals, drunkards, ill-behaved priests and lecherous monks, spendthrifts, bribe-taking judges, busybodies, and voluptuous women are included in this unsparing, bitter, sweeping satire. Brant's aims are the improvement of his fellows and the regeneration of church and empire. The language is popular, the verse rough but vigorous; each chapter is accompanied by a woodcut, many ascribed to Albrecht Dürer (Dürer, Albrecht); they are beautifully executed but often only loosely connected with the text. Brant's work was an immediate sensation and was widely translated.

      Two English versions appeared in 1509, one in verse by Alexander Barclay (Barclay, Alexander) (The Shyp of Folys of the Worlde) and another in prose by Henry Watson, and it gave rise to a whole school of fool's literature. Yet Brant essentially looks backward; he is not a forerunner of the Reformation nor even a true humanist but rather a representative of medieval thought and ideals.
