Cliges was probably written after Erec et Enide and is thus
Chretien de Troyes' second romance. There are several modern
English and French translations of the text, but a need has long
been felt for a modern German version, particularly as references
in Middle High German texts and text fragments indicate that there
was at least one Middle High German version. This gap is now filled
with the present modern German translation which is published
together with the original text in a bilingual edition; this means
that the special position which Cliges takes up in more than one
respect in the history of the medieval European romance can now
form a stronger focus in German Studies. Thus a broader basis is
formed both for interdisciplinary medieval studies and for research
into the history and theory of the romance. A comprehensive
introduction sketches the most important problems in interpreting
the work, the present state of research into Cliges in
international Romance Studies and its place in the history of the
Arthurian romance. With the translation, the introduction, the
commentary, and a comprehensive bibliography, this monograph
provides an indispensable foundation for future research. It is
anticipated that it will meet with wide interest and significantly
alter the view taken by German Studies of the history of the
romance in medieval Europe.
