Die Jobsiade: Ein komisches Heldengedicht in drei Teilen by Karl Arnold Kortum

"Die Jobsiade: Ein komisches Heldengedicht in drei Teilen" by Karl Arnold Kortum is a comic heroic poem written between 1783-1784. This satirical work chronicles the life of Hieronymus Jobs, a failed theology student who stumbles through every situation he encounters. Written in Knittelvers rhyme, the poem mocks German narrow-mindedness and student life through its protagonist's descending life trajectory—a sharp contrast to the optimistic spirit of its era. Jobs's story ultimately ends with him working as a night watchman. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
