In Imagining the Text, James Brown examines ekphrasis - the verbal
representation of a visual representation - in Wirnt von
Gravenberg's thirteenth-century Arthurian romance Wigalois, one of
the most popular and enduring stories in the Middle High German
literary tradition. Through close reading of the text and examining
illustrated Wigalois manuscripts, early print editions, and
frescoes, Brown explores how ekphrasis structures the narrative,
harmonizes potential conflicts in the text, and contributes to the
construction of courtly identity. Imagining the Text demonstrates
that the vibrant symbiosis of word and image is crucial to the
poem's sustained popularity for more than six hundred years, and
contributes to the history of the book and to the study of medieval
and modern modes of perception.
