Over 500 different examples of minnerede have been preserved.The
texts, in which a first-person subject articulates his experience
of courtly love or his knowledge about it, testify to the strength
of a continuous fascination with this topic in the Late Middle
Ages. Concentrating on the genre of minnerede, the twelve papers in
this volume develop innovative approaches to the relationship of
text and culture in the Middle Ages.The starting point is an at
first provocative initial thesis, which however leads to the
surprising conclusion that what modern readers might find 'trivial'
in a pejorative sense was a source of great fascination for
medieval readers of these discourses of courtly love.Thus attention
centres around the density of repetition, the availability of
rhetorical gestures, the conventionality and the breaks with
convention, the metaphorical indulgence and the construction of
gender roles.
