Text and facing translation of an important medieval German
Arthurian romance. Ulrich von Zatzikhoven's Lanzelet, dating from
the end of the twelfth century, is a verse translation into Middle
High German of what was probably an Anglo-Norman romance, now lost.
It presents the story of Lanzelet (Lancelot), but in quite a
different version from Chretien de Troyes' Chevalier de la
charrette. The first half of the tale concerns Lanzelet's knightly
and romantic exploits on his way to discovering his true identity,
while at the same time winning the beautiful Iblis as his wife. The
second half revolves around Lanzelet's efforts to defend the honor
of the Arthurian court and reestablish his own and his wife's
kingdoms. As in much literature of the time, sex, violence and
magic abound. This volume presents the first full translation into
English, with a new, facing edition of the Middle High German text.
It is accompanied by an introduction, variant readings and notes to
the translation. Kathleen J. Meyer teaches in the Department of
Languages and Ethnic Studies, Bemidji State University.
