Konig Rother, Salman und Morolf, the Munchner Oswald and Grauer
Rock (otherwise known as Orendel) have had a troubled position in
the literary history of medieval Germany. Forced into a normative
generic framework as either 'Minstrel Epic' (Spielmannsepik) or
'Bridal-quest Epic' (Brautwerbungsepik), these texts have been
viewed conventionally according to an essentially teleological
classification or a schematic ideal. Bowden challenges the premises
of such a view with a detailed history of the textual scholarship,
and revaluates these so called 'Bridal quests' on their own terms,
offering detailed and suggestive readings of each work without the
distortions or limitations inherent in the traditional
interpretative model. Sarah Bowden is Powys Roberts Research Fellow
at St Hugh's College, Oxford.
