Medieval Lyric
Author: William Doremus Paden
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252025365
Category : Lyric poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
"An essential volume for medievalists and scholars of comparative literature, Medieval Lyric opens up a reconsideration of genre in medieval European lyric. Departing from a perspective that asks how medieval genres correspond with twentieth-century ideas of structure or with the evolution of poetry, this collection argues that the development of genres should be considered as a historical phenomenon, embedded in a given culture and responsive to social and literary change.".

Category : Architecture

Pages : 528

The German Volksbuch
Author: Albrecht Classen
Publisher: Lewiston, N.Y. : Edwin Mellen Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This study explains how the Volksbuch developed from the medieval courtly romance under the influence of complex sociological, economic, technological, and cultural factors during the 15th century and became an art form in its own right. The new genre was characterized by a wide range of styles, from the earthy plot and language of Till Eulenspiegel to the formal style and moralistic didacticism of the Magelone. The study goes on to examine the history of the genre's critical evaluation from the Romantic period to the present, providing a close-up survey of the history of German literary scholarship. It also discusses four major representatives of the genre: Thuring von Ringoltingen's Melusine, the anonymous Fortunatus, Till Eulenspiegel, and Historia von D. Johann Fausten. This book should interest not only students and scholars of German, but also those interested in the social, historical, and mental transition of Germany from the late Middle Ages to the modern age.

Medieval Listening and Reading
Author: Dennis Howard Green
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521444934
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
This study brings recent scholarly debates on oral cultures and literate societies to bear on the earliest recorded literature in German (800-1300). It considers the criteria for assessing what works were destined for listeners, what examples anticipated readers, and how for both modes of reception could apply to one work, exploring the possible interplay between them. The opening chapters review previous scholarship and the introduction of writing into preliterate Germany. The core of the book presents lexical and non-lexical evidence for the different modes of reception, taken from the whole spectrum of genres, from dance songs to liturgy, from drama and heroic literature to the court narrative and lyric poetry. The social contexts of reception and the physical process of reading books are also considered. Two concluding chapters explore the literary and historical implications of the slow interpenetration of orality and literacy. There is a comprehensive bibliographical index of primary sources.
