This book sheds light on the complexity of medieval German literary
culture as it evolved in the course of the thirteenth century (c.
1220-1290) by analysing the attitudes of narrative poets towards
the issue of authorship. It describes the various ways in which
vernacular writers could address the theme of their own authorship
within their literary works, and explores the tensions that arose
between such authorial strategies on the one hand and their
subsequent manuscript transmission on the other. The first part of
the book deals with the presentation of authorship in the works of
two poets who stand at the heart of literary tradition (Rudolf von
Ems; Konrad von Wurzburg), and involves discussion of such topics
as authorial signature, acrostics, author portraits, and patronage;
the second part deals with two genres (heroic epic; short story)
that evince a rather more problematic relationship with the figure
of the author.
