Although much work has recently been done on the relationship
between poet, narrator and audience in medieval literature, no
sustained attempt has yet been made to inquire into the ways in
which the listener's responses are rhetorically controlled and
guided in the case of the Parzival of Wolfram von Eschenbach. This
book attempts such an inquiry by combining five approaches which
have so far been used only separately or partially: the narrator's
use of a point of view technique, a specific problem concerning the
medieval technique, a specific problem concerning the medieval
reception of his work, a procedure best described as 'revealing
while concealing', the technique used in naming characters, and the
theme of recognition in Parzival. These approaches are combined and
applied in detail to the narrative sequence of Wolfram's romance.
Although the narratives dealing with Gahmuret, Parzival and Gawan
are all dealt with, the lion's share falls to Parzival as the hero
of the work (whereby special importance is attached to his crucial
dialogue with the hermit Trevrizent in Book IX), but due regard is
also paid to Gawan as a means of highlighting the special position
of the hero. The discussion throughout is organised around the
various encounters in the work in which recognition or
non-recognition plays a part.
