The volume presents a collection of papers by noted German and
British medievalists, who join the discussion on the concept of
text in German Medieval Studies. This topic has been intensively
discussed in recent years, as new insights from editorial
philology, narratology, and media theory have led to 'medieval
text' becoming an open and methodologically elusive concept. The
contributors weigh the theoretical arguments and apply the
methodological outcome to text exemplars from the Early, High, and
Late Middle Ages.
This volume assembles the findings of the 14th Anglo-German
colloquium on German medieval literature. The 22 contributions all
revolve around the subject of "Author and Authorship," a theme very
much in the foreground of discussion in present-day medieval
literary studies. Most of the articles are case studies and draw on
texts from the whole gamut of German medieval literature to discuss
such issues as the relation between performance, textuality and
authorship, the functional status of author's names and author's
pictures in manuscript traditions, a historically adequate concept
of authorship, the various roles played by authors and the specific
profiles these roles display in different genres.

"Sometimes it takes a village to raise a child. Sometimes, as in
our case, that village looks more like The Village People. And
sometimes, it is not the village that raises the child, but the
child that raises the village ... often to heights they never
imagined." With these words, Gene Poole-Hall takes us on another
wonderful journey to show us that the love we have for one another
is the most beautiful expression of who and what we are, whether it
is expressed between or within genders, generations, or the rainbow
of races and creeds that comprise the human experience. He reminds
us that the important thing is not who we love, but that we love;
and that a true family is a creation, whether we are born or evolve
into it. In this sequel to Normal?, Stephen J. Mulrooney shows us
again that when it comes to the trials and tribulations of growing
up, infatuation and love, the experience for us all is the same, no
matter where we stand in the spectrum of the human rainbow. Normal
Too? begins with a simple trip by Gene's brother Robbie to New York
City to celebrate his brother's birthday. On his return from a
memorable celebration, Robbie encounters a young runaway in Grand
Central Station. The boy looked hungry and in need of help. Robbie,
being Robbie, was hungry to help. The exchange between these two
seemingly very different characters will have a profound effect on
their lives, and the lives of Robbie's entire extended family. The
young boy, Chris, arrives at the family home weighed down with more
baggage than the few possessions he is carrying. His fears and
secrecy belie an otherwise compelling nature. In Robbie's words,
"this boy is a lot like an onion, and there are bound to be tears
behind the peels." What follows is a story that grows and evolves
in love, as the story of every loving family must; and illustrates
that when it comes to family, "at the heart of the matter, it is
the heart that matters most." Chris's introduction to a
predominately gay extended family that includes a few retired drag
queens, and even a straight rabbi, is not an easy one for a rural
southern orphan. The boy has never experienced anyone or anything
like what he's about to. But as his preconceived notions, fears,
and the story of his life begin to peel in one adventure after
another, what unfolds is one of the most beautiful stories of love
and family you will ever read.
