The first edition of this book appeared in German in 1985, and set
a new agenda for the study of medieval literary theory. Rather than
seeing vernacular writers' reflections on their art, such as are
found in prologues, epilogues and interpolations in literary texts,
as merely deriving from established Latin traditions, Walter Haug
shows that they marked the gradual emancipation of an independent
vernacular poetics that went hand in hand with changing narrative
forms. While focussing primarily on medieval German writers, Haug
also takes into account French literature of the same period, and
the principles underlying his argument are equally relevant to
medieval literature in English or any other European language. This
ground-breaking study is now available in English for the first
time.
