Chretien de Troyes and the German Middle Ages - Papers from an International Symposium (Hardcover)

Studies showing the influence of the French Arthurian romances of Chretien de Troyes on German medieval literature. The pre-eminent role of Chretien de Troyes in the formation of Arthurian romance is reflected in the swift and brilliant response of German courtly poets to his works. Within a few years of their composition, Erec et Enideand Yvain were adapted for German audiences by Hartmann von Aue, while Chretien's unfinished Grail-story was taken up by Wolfram von Eschenbach and brought to a triumphant conclusion in Parzival. In this volume a distinguished international team of scholars contrast the treatment and reception of the stories in Germany with their French originals.
