Many modern female writers are famous for their voluptuous style; their
ungratified sex is expressed in such erotic art activity. The nun Hroswitha of
Gandersheim (C. 940—1002) was the first known woman dramatist in German
literature. She shows an out-spoken, sadistic-masochistic bent in her dreams,
in their ample description of lustful, cruel and degrading scenes. It is
apparent that the conception and description of the happenings must have
colored the author's emotional life. Her legend, The Passion and Martyrdom of
St. Agnes the Virgin takes place partly in a bawdy-house; the passion play,
St. Gongolf treats the theme of cuckoldry and brings in flatulence as a
scatological theme; her play The Passion of St. Pelagus has the theme of
pederasty. In the drama Dulcitus the three saintly virgins are to be publicly
divested by Roman soldiers. In her Sapientia, Fides is whipped naked so that
her limbs are rent asunder; the tormentors cut off her breasts, tie her to a
red-hot grating and finally behead her. In other plays Hroswitha shows a great
knowledge of the doings of the inmates of the brothels. In The Resurrection of
Drusia her theme is necrophilism. We may assume that this literary nun
expressed her pent-up sex, raising it to an excessive sadistic and masochistic
degree. She thus appears as a female counterpart of de Sade, who during his
long term in prison was to brood over and invent similar phantastic scenes
without having experienced them in real life.
