Moscherosch, Johann Michael

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Moscherosch, Johann Michael 

Born Mar. 5, 1601, in Willstätt; died Apr. 4, 1669, in Worms. German satirist.

Moscherosch graduated from a law faculty at Strasbourg (1622). His principal work, Peculiar and True Visions of Philander von Sittewald (1640–42), was a satirical novel of manners that portrayed the woes of Germany during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Moscherosch believed that a return to patriarchal mores was the answer to Germany’s critical situation. The novel was overburdened with scholarly digressions and allegories.
