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.

Download or read book Rennewart in Wolfram s Willehalm written by Carl Lofmark and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1972-08-24 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfram von Eschenbach's Willehalm and the Old French chanson de geste, La Bataille d'Aliscans, on which it was based, recount the tale of how Guillaume de'Orange eventually defeated the Saracens at the battle of Aliscans. This 1972 book examines Wolfram's use of his source material, concentrating on the episodes in which Rennewart figures. He discusses the theories about the original source of Rainouart in the French chansons de geste, and suggests that the figure sprang from traditional fairy tales, and was incorporated into the courtly cycle, in which he assorts rather oddly with the other characters, threatening to take over centre stage from the primary hero, Guillaume. He indicates the ways in which Wolfram made his poem a more consistent narrative by relegating Rennewart to his proper place, and giving him some of the courtly virtues expected of a hero by his audience. Finally, he considers whether Willehalm is a fragment.

Download or read book Vernacular Literary Theory in the Middle Ages written by Walter Haug and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book appeared in German in 1985, and set a new agenda for the study of medieval literary theory. Rather than seeing vernacular writers' reflections on their art, such as are found in prologues, epilogues and interpolations in literary texts, as merely deriving from established Latin traditions, Walter Haug shows that they marked the gradual emancipation of an independent vernacular poetics that went hand in hand with changing narrative forms. While focussing primarily on medieval German writers, Haug also takes into account French literature of the same period, and the principles underlying his argument are equally relevant to medieval literature in English or any other European language. This ground-breaking study is now available in English for the first time.
Download or read book Willehalm written by Wolfram Eschenbach and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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'.

Download or read book Diz vliegende b spel written by Marian E. Polhill and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explores the theme of ambiguity in medieval and early modern literature in essays honoring the life and work of Arthur Groos, Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University, USA, emeritus. The famous expression diz vliegende bîspel from Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival is its watchword. In the poem the black and white plumage of the magpie represents the characteristic complexity, ambiguity, and ambivalence of the romance. Removed from its historical context the expression is also a figure of Arthur Groos's wide-ranging intellectual flight. In addition to his work on medieval German verse narrative, he has made important contributions to courtly love poetry, medieval and early modern scientific literature, early modern German literature in general, and especially to opera.
