As the earliest Arthurian verse-novel in the German language,
Hartmann von Aue's Erec was highly influential, not only on the
many Arthurian works that followed, but also on courtly narrative
verse in general. However, his tale is of more than antiquarian
interest. Its subjects--the individual in conflict with society and
the destructive force of possessive love--are modern, and its
language, when transferred into prose, is more direct and lucid
than most contemporary writing. Indeed, it was the conviction that
the story deserved a much larger audience than that of medieval
scholars which inspired this translation, the first into English.
