The volume presents the papers delivered to an international
conference on late medieval carnival plays (Blaubeuren 2007).
Representatives from German, French and Dutch Studies, together
with theatre and cultural historians examine carnival plays from
the following perspectives: play topics and municipal politics,
performance and reception, relations with sacred drama, with
literary and local traditions and customs, and in addition, issues
around editing and commentary, together with comparative literary
aspects.
The AProse LancelotA still represents a major challenge for
research on medieval literature. The Middle High German romance is
a translation of an Old French original that may have been
transmitted via a Dutch interim version. Accordingly, the romance
has to be read in the context of French, Dutch, and German literary
history. In Germany the reception of the ALancelot en proseA
related to its modern prose form, while in the Netherlands it was
also translated/reworked as a romance in verse. Given all this, the
study of the work can only be properly undertaken on an
interdisciplinary basis. This volume contains the contributions to
the Lancelot conference in TA1/4bingen in September 2004.
Specialists in German Studies, Romance Studies, and Dutch Studies
examine the work both from literary and a language-historical
perspectives. The articles concentrate on the following subjects:
(1) translation practice and prose style, (2) narrative strategies
and the constitution of meaning, (3) transmission and impact.
