Book excerpt: Wolfram von Eschenbach's Willehalm (c. 1210-20) is one of the great epic creations of the Middle Ages. Its account of conflict between Christian and Muslim cultures, centering on the warrior-saint Willehalm and his wife Gyburc, a convert from Islam, challenges the ideology of the Crusades. It celebrates the heroism, faith, and family solidarity of the Christians, but also displays the suffering of both sides in the war and questions the justification of all killing. Gyburc, whose abandonment of her Muslim family and conversion to Christianity are the immediate cause of the war, bears a double burden of sorrow, and it is from her that springs a vision of humanity transcending religious differences that is truly remarkable for its time. In Gyburc's heathen brother Rennewart and his love for the French king's daughter, Wolfram also develops a richly comic strand in the narrative, with the outcome left tantalizingly open by the work's probably unfinished conclusion. Long overshadowed by his earlier Parzival, Wolfram's Willehalm is increasingly receiving the recognition it deserves. The fifteen essays in this volume present new interpretations of a wide range of aspects of Willehalm. They place the work in its historical and literary context, promote understanding of its leading figures and themes, and highlight Wolfram's supreme qualities as a story-teller. Martin H. Jones is Senior Lecturer in German at King's College, London. Timothy McFarland is retired as Senior Lecturer in German at University College London.

Book excerpt: Wolfram von Eschenbach (fl. c. 1195-1225), best known as the author of Parzival, based Willehalm, his epic poem of military prowess and courtly love, on the style and subject matter of an Old French "chanson de geste." In it he tells of the love of Willehalm for Giburc, a Saracen woman converted to Christianity, and its consequences. Seeking revenge for the insult to their faith, her relatives initiate a religious war but are finally routed. Wolfram's description of the two battles of Alischanz, with their massive slaughter and loss of heroes, and of the exploits of Willehalm and the quasicomic Rennewart, well displays the violence and courtliness of the medieval knightly ideal. Wolfram flavors his brutal account, however, with tender scenes between the lovers, asides to his audience, sympathetic cameos of his characters--especially the women--and, most unusually for his time, a surprising tolerance for 'pagans'.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays included in this volume arise out of the authors' joint concern, over a long period, with the problems posed by research on and teaching about Wolfram von Eschenbach. Since teaching is still largely concentrated on one of his works, «Parzival», all the essays but one are devoted to this central work. Each essay was conceived separately and independently, but together they illustrate the unity in diversity which is so characteristic of Wolfram's work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Source of Wolfram's Willehalm: With One Plate The subject of the following study was suggested to the writer by Professor Samuel Singer of the University of Berne, Switzerland. The publication of an edition of Aliscans with an approximately complete set of variant readings (Wienbeck, Hartnacke, Rasch, Halle 1903) seemed to warrant a fresh comparison of Wolfram's version of the story of the battle of Aliscans with the Old French versions, notwithstanding the fine work on the subject published by Fraulein Nassau Noordewier in her thesis entitled Bijdrage tot de Beordeeling van den Willehalm. Delft, 1901. The discovery and publication (Chiswick Press, 1903) of the Chancun de Willame gave a new interest to a search for further sources of the material still unaccounted for in Willehalm. A plan was made for a study to be divided into four chapters; the first to contain a comparison of Willehalm with its Old French sources; the second, parallel summaries of Willehalm and Aliscans; the third, a detailed analysis of all differences between Willehalm and Aliscans; and the fourth, a critical comparison of the literary value of the two poems, based on the preceding work. It is the first chapter alone, which is offered here to those interested in the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
